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.

With just a few weeks to go to the end of the season, you would have thought a tie between Spurs and Manchester City would be a must-see affair, with both teams challenging for either the title or a Champions League spot.

Sports writer Tom Collomosse argues that had Manchester City dropped points last week against Aston Villa, with Spurs overcoming Southampton at St Mary's, then there would only be four points between these two teams. However, with results not going that way, there are nine points separating second from sixth place.

Still, with Liverpool dropping points against Hull City in the week, Spurs are neck-and-neck with Brendan Rodgers' men and have a strong chance of making it into the Europa League. Of course, the question is, is that what Tottenham wants?
