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.

OSAKA ONE GAME AWAY FROM DEFEAT!
Second seed Naomi Osaka is currently trailing 7-6, 5-2 against Yulia Putintseva, who is serving for the match!
UPSET! Yulin Putintseva def. Naomi Osaka 7-694) 6-2
THE WORLD NO. 2 IS OUT!
Well, what a shock that was! The second seed has been dumped out of Wimbledon!
Putintseva played very well against an out of sorts Naomi Osaka, and the winner has been speaking to the BBC afterwards:
"I've never played on this court, so the shape was surprising. It was very new and exciting for me, but I think I did a great win out there for me!"
"I just go out there to play my best and do what I can, and today I did a great job!'
