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.

There are huge games at the top and bottom of the Premier League table today, as Crystal Palace host Newcastle before top-four chasing Tottenham travel to Liverpool.

Andros Townsend will come up against his former team in the early kick-off, as Palace look to get back to winning ways against relegation rivals Newcastle. Both sides could move up to 11th with a win, but the losers will be left looking nervously over their shoulders at the bottom three.

And then the big one: Liverpool vs Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping his men can build on their incredibly impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United earlier in the week. Meanwhile Liverpool are out for revenge – they lost the reverse fixture at Wembley 4-1. A win will keep the Reds in third and cut United’s lead in second to just three points.
