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.

These two-legged affairs tend to favour the home side in the first leg, as the visitors are frequently content to take a narrow defeat back home for the second encounter.
Leicester, tipped here at 14-1 to win the trophy and now a top-priced 11-4, will not lose much sleep if they are a goal down for the return at Filbert Street, which is just as well as their recent results suggest that may be the best they can hope for.
They were fielding a weakened side when hammered 6-2 by Manchester United in the Premiership recently, but there were few excuses for Saturday's FA Cup exit by Coventry.
Sunderland, conversely, running away with the First Division, were not disgraced in being beaten 1-0 by Blackburn.
Tottenham, at 10-11, can beat Wimbledon in the first leg of their semi- final at White Hart Lane.
