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.

Wise Geek compiled a collection of pictures to show exactly how much of various snacks you can eat to make up 200 calories.
You'd have to eat a lot of celery to make up the 200 - 1425 grams to be precise. Two large red onions, an avocado or a plate full of broccoli would also get you there.
Unsurprisingly, you can eat much more fruit or veg than chocolate for the same amount of calories.
A mere eight Hershey Kisses, half a Snickers bar or 17 gummy bears all account for 200 kcal.
We've calculated how much of other popular takeaway foods you can eat for 200 calories, take a look:
- 80% of a small McDonalds hamburger/apple pie
- Just over half of a Cookies & Kreme doughnut from Krispy Kreme
- Just under three small hot wings from KFC
- 3.75 inches of a BLT 6 inch sub from Subway
- Nearly of a fifth of Chicken Katsu Curry from Wagamama
- Quarter Peri Peri chicken from Nando's
- Just under one slice of Medium Pan Texan BBQ pizza from Pizza Hut
- Just under half of a Steak Bake from Greggs
- Just over one scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream from Baskin Robbins
- Nearly a third of a Whopper from Burger King
Let's not forget about the fat and salt content though, folks...
