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.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk meet again next weekend, as the Briton bids for revenge – and heavyweight gold.
Usyk narrowly outpointed Fury in May, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years. With that, the Ukrainian stayed unbeaten and handed Fury his first professional loss.
Usyk, 37, then vacated the IBF title, meaning only three of the four major belts are on the line this time. But Fury, 36, will still be highly motivated to avenge his defeat, especially after Usyk came close to stopping the “Gypsy King” in round nine.
Next weekend, the heavyweights return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where they first fought, as fans expect another close contest.
Here’s everything you need to know about the rematch:

How much money are Fury and Usyk making?
Reports suggested that the overall purse for the first fight was around $150m (£116m), with Fury taking roughly 70 per cent of that.
For the rematch, the purse is reported to be closer to $191m (£150m), and while the split has not been disclosed, Usyk should earn a greater percentage than he did in May – as the A-side this time around.
When is the fight and what time does it start?
Fury vs Usyk 2, over 12 rounds for the unified heavyweight titles, will take place on Saturday 21 December. The rematch takes place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The first fight is set for 5pm GMT (9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET), with main-event ring walks scheduled for 10.15pm GMT (2.15pm PT / 4.15pm CT / 5.15pm ET).
How can I watch it?
As with recent Saudi-staged events, the fight will air live on DAZN pay-per-view, TNT Sports Box Office, and Sky Sports Box Office – priced at £24.99 on all three. However, DAZN is the only one that doesn’t require viewers to have a subscription to access the PPV; and it is offering a free, seven-day, no-commitment trial if fans buy the event.
