Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Rangers will be without Paul Gascoigne, Brian Laudrup, Trevor Steven and Ian Ferguson for their home game against Kilmarnock today while Mark Hateley is rated very doubtful.
Oleg Salenko, the Russian striker who was signed for pounds 2m from Valencia, could make his debut at some stage during the afternoon when Rangers unfurl the championship flag for the seventh time.
"It's traditionally a big day for the club at the start of the season," Walter Smith, the Rangers manager said. "We must have the right attitude because two seasons ago Kilmarnock came here early in the campaign and beat us 2-1."
Celtic go to Raith with Andreas Thom ready for his premier debut and a late decision required on John Hughes who took a knock in last week's win at Ayr.
Partick Thistle, the subject of a takeover bid by a group of Asian businessmen in Glasgow, begin the season under their new manager, Murdo MacLeod, determined to try to avoid yet another survival scramble. MacLeod faces his old club, Hibernian, at Firhill.
