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

2007 Lacroix, Bordeaux Supérieur

Château Teyssier's Jonathan Maltus is responsible for this sweetly cherryish claret with its underpinning of vanilla and chocolatey oak. Bargain. £7.99, buy 2 = £5.99, Majestic

Dinner party

2012 Sélection des Cognettes, Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine sur Lie

This seafood-friendly bone dry Atlantic white bursts on to the tongue with an energetic spritz and follows through like any textbook muscadet sur lie should. £9.95, Roberson

Splash out

2010 Brancott Estate Chosen Rows Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Pricey, but this pure expression of sauvignon blanc is exotically intense in its nettley fragrance and its rich gooseberry fruit quality. £35-41, Lay & Wheeler, Harvey Nichols
