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.

Your support makes all the difference.Canterbury coach Rob Penney is endorsing a swift return to international rugby for Dan Carter.
Carter made a return to provincial rugby at the weekend in Canterbury's Air New Zealand Cup match against North Harbour. The drums have since grown louder for his inclusion in the All Blacks for their next Tri-Nations match against Australia in Sydney in just under three weeks time.
Penney says Carter can make a quick adjustment to test match rugby. He says Carter would lift to the level required and is ready to go whenever the All Blacks need him.
Penney says Canterbury's All Blacks will not be returning this week and it will be the same group of players who take the field against Auckland at Eden Park on Saturday.
All Blacks Luke McAlister, Aled de Malmanche, Bryn Evans and Tanerau Latimer are all scheduled to turn out for their provinces this weekend.
