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.

Brian Moore said he did not believe there would be a repeat of the recent chaotic scenes at Heathrow when 600,000 extra visitors arrive for the Games. But he refused to rule out protracted delays. "There will always be circumstances beyond our control. There could always be conditions which arise," he told the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee.
Mr Moore denied that temporary staff being drafted in to border posts in July and August would receive less training than their permanent colleagues.
