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.

Sir: While Duke Franz of Bavaria is indeed the senior representative of the Stuart line ("King Franz of Scotland?", 11 January), before he concerns himself with the Scottish throne he will surely wish to see the restoration of his native Bavaria's.
In 1992 a Bavarian radio phone-in poll resulted in 68 per cent voting for the country to be a kingdom once more. This is exactly twice the number who, in the recent television debate, voted in favour of a British republic. I trust that all those who believe the British republican minority should be given the right to have a president will be equally vociferous in supporting the Bavarian majority's desire to have a king.
