From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Success on a plate for Rovers
Hull Kingston Rovers recaptured some of their lost Wembley glory with an overwhelming 60-14 defeat of Hunslet in the first final of the Silk Cut Plate, writes Dave Hadfield. Rovers, three times finalists in the Cup proper during the 1980s, proved far too powerful and fluent for the South Leeds club, with Stanley Gene becoming the second man, after Bradford's Robbie Paul last year, to score a hat-trick in a Wembley final.
