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.Wednesday's meeting of Manchester City and Tottenham at Eastlands looks more likely than ever to decide who finishes fourth and takes a place in the Champions' League play-off round after both won home games yesterday.
City trailed Aston Villa, the other serious contenders, early on but came back to win 3-1. Spurs, who have not competed for the European Cup since 1961, held on to Tom Huddlestone's goal to beat Bolton 1-0.
The London side lead City by one point, with a slightly inferior goal difference. A draw on Wednesday would therefore make them favourites going into the final matches, when they visit relegated Burnley and City are at West Ham.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will regain the Premier League title today if they win at Liverpool in what could be Rafa Benitez's last home game as manager, and Manchester United lose at Sunderland.
Liverpool fans desperate for United not to overtake their record of 18 titles yesterday erected a banner at the training ground reading: "Please let Chelsea win".
