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.

6: Swansea go close in the opening exchanges. Jordan Ayew steals the ball from Abdoulaye Doucouré and rattles the bar with a shot from the edge of the box.
Goal!
Chelsea 2-0 Stoke
This could end as a cricket score if this rate of goals continues. Danny Drinkwater scores his first goal for Chelsea with a superb volley which did not give Jack Butland a chance.
Goal!
Watford 1-0 Swansea
Lukas Fabianski parries Richarlison's angled shot and André Carrillo is waiting to nod in from close-range. Swansea's bright start counts for nothing and Carlos Carvalhal finds his side a goal down.
Newcastle 0 - 0 Brighton
14: Andre Yedlin's cross is met by Dwight Gayle in the middle but he is unable to direct his header towards goal. That is the best chance of a game in which both sides have shared good spells of possession.
Liverpool 0 - 1 Leicester
18: Sadio Mane puts the ball into the back of the net but the flag is up for offside. Andy Robertson angles a cross from deep to the forward who made his run too early.
