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.

Boxing Day is always an extra Christmas treat for football fans and Tuesday is no different, with five Premier League games staggered through the day, all being broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video – for the final time, after Amazon’s pivot to boxing starting next season.

There is also a stacked schedule in the Championship, including a top-of-the-table showdown between second-placed Ipswich and league leaders Leicester, as well as games throughout the Football League and one Scottish Premiership clash as Dundee travel to leaders Celtic.

Newcastle will aim to end their run of four consecutive defeats when they host Nottingham Forest at 12.30pm GMT, as Forest search for a first win under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Bournemouth and Fulham are both enjoying good seasons and the winner at the Vitality Stadium (3pm) could jump into the top half. An important relegation contest will get under way at Bramall Lane when Sheffield United host Luton Town (3pm), before the other side in the bottom three, Burnley, host title-chasing Liverpool (5.30pm).

Manchester United, now under new direction after the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos operation, take on high-flying Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the evening kick-off (8pm).
