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.

NIGHT IN

2011 Tesco Finest Soave Classico

Unusually good soave for the price, an intense dry Italian white with ripe peachy scents and delicious apricoty fruit –gluggily juicy and moreishly dry. £7.99, Tesco

DINNER PARTY

2008 Rioja Campo Aldea Gracian

Astonishingly aromatic, this pure, distinctive graciano-based red has a classic rioja feel to it, thanks to its dark fruit and gamey undertones. £12.99, Marks & Spencer

SPLASH OUT

2010 Cape Mentelle Cabernet Merlot, Margaret River, Western Australia

There's a rich core of cassis fruit behind the smoky and cinnamon-spicy fragrance of this Cape Mentelle blend. £14.99, Majestic
