Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

42 MINS
Tottenham have scored...but it's offside. Son picks up the ball on the left and delivers yet another tantalising cross into the box, but Kane's finish is flagged offside.
HALF TIME
Both sides enter the interval level, which will please the visitors but frustrate Pochettino's men. Tottenham have attacked relentlessly for the first 45 minutes, but Middlesbrough deserve praise for their tough defending. The visitors marked well, kept their shape and battled constantly.
The early incident between Valdes and Alli will no doubt receive further attention, but the Middlesbrough fans will just be relieved that the officials did not see the scuffle.
Kane had a huge chance, but he failed to convert from close range.
Can they do it the second half? Stay tuned.

It looks although Pochettino has swapped Eriksen and Son. It's a tactical tweak from the Spurs boss.
50 MINS
Tottenham are dominating once again, with Kane at the heart of almost every attack. At the other end, Negredo is isolated on his own up there.
Son weaves in front of goal and the ball falls to Eriksen, but his strike on goal is denied by Valdes.
53 MINS
Downing breaks forward, but his cross into the box is headed away by Dier. They are starting to get an era of enthusiasm about them - they just need to make their attacks count.
56 MINS
Eriksen sends a corner into the box, but it's unchallenged by a Spurs head. They've been wasteful with their set pieces today.
Chambers has been on the end of everything today for Boro.
