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.Life at Stamford Bridge has started very promisingly for Maurizio Sarri, who has guided Chelsea to three wins in their opening Premier League matches.
Chelsea, however, will not be taking Bournemouth lightly, having lost to them twice at home in their last three league meetings in west London.
Eddie Howe could hand Jefferson Lerma his Premier League debut and will welcome back Adam Smith, who returns from suspension, as they look to maintain their unbeaten start.
We'll have all the latest from Stamford Bridge and around the Premier League:

Prediction
Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth
FULL TIME: Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United
City win once again and move onto 10 points but it was not as comfortable as it normally is for the Citizens.
The better players shone through though and goals from Sterling and Walker give City the three points.
Newcastle scored a good goal of their own from Deandre Yedlin but it wasn't enough to get a point.
A more than respectable result for the Toon Army but it is still only one point from four matches even though they'll think they should have accumulated a few more.
They've now played against Spurs, Chelsea and City and not lost by more than one against any of them.
That's the end of your action today folks.
Join us tomorrow here at The Independent for all the live updates as Cardiff host Arsenal, Burnley take on Manchester United and and Watford host Tottenham.
It's sure to be another fiery afternoon with lots of goals and action and I'll be taking you through them all.
Thanks for joining.
