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.

Your support makes all the difference.

A light show that uses LED-carrying mini drones shone over the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, marking the first public day of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Technology giant Intel staged the glittering show over the iconic fountains, in which 250 of its 'Shooting Star Drones' formed different shapes in the sky.

The show marked the opening of the world’s biggest tech conference, featuring the same drone lights used in last year’s Super Bowl half-time show featuring Lady Gaga.
