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.

If ever there was a 'Super Sunday' of football then it is today, with all 20 Premier League teams in action at 3pm. Chelsea may well have already been crowned champions, Sunderland, Hull and Middlesborough relegated, but there is still a lot to play for. Top of the agenda is the race for the top four, with Man City able to clinch third with a win at Watford and Liverpool can seal fourth with a win at Middlesborough. Arsenal still have a chance of nabbing a spot though if they beat Everton and one of their rivals slip up. Looks a long shot at the moment though....
