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.

Super Lasse worth his wait
Lasse Kjus' long wait for a World Cup victory finally ended when he won the season's first super-giant slalom race in Vail, Colorado, yesterday. After four second-place finishes this season and eight in his career, the veteran Norwegian posted a time of one minute 34.15 seconds and then waited anxiously lest the same fate befall him again. The closest anyone could come was the 1:34.44 by Richard Kroell of Austria. "I can't believe it finally happened," said the taciturn Kjus, who waited until almost the entire field had finished before accepting congraulations. "I felt sick from the waiting."
