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.On the eve of the north London derby, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil decided to tweet that Arsenal planned to "rob three points" against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
That decision has backfired badly for the German World Cup winner after Spurs won 2-1 in a dominant performance. No "robbing" was done. While Ozil scored the opening goal in the 11th minute, the Gunners were soon over-run by their local rivals, with star striker Harry Kane scoring twice to secure the win.
The Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger said after the match that Kane should be called up to the England squad for the first time.
"He was good as always. He grows and he has a good determination. He doesn't stop, he keeps going," he said to BT Sport.
"When you have scored the number of goals he has scored, if you don't put him in there [England], somebody will give him a passport to another country."
