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.

Manchester City squandered a rare opportunity to close the gap on Women’s Super League leaders Chelsea as they were beaten by Everton, who claimed just their second league win of the season.
A day after Chelsea dropped their first points of the season in a 1-1 draw at bottom-side Leicester, Gareth Taylor’s City suffered a shock defeat to fall further behind Sonia Bompastor’s side.
First-half goals from Lucy Hope and Honoka Hayashi put Everton in control and City were unable to respond despite pulling one back late on through a Mary Fowler penalty. It was Everton’s first-ever win over City, in what was their 26th attempt.
Despite their draw at Leicester, Chelsea’s have opened up a six-point lead at the top of the table heading into the winter break, as the Blues chase a sixth title in a row.
City, who were without top scorer Khadija Shaw, travel to Barcelona in their final match of the Women’s Champions League group stage on Wednesday.
