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.

Roberto Soldado marked his debut for Tottenham with a goal in last night's 1-1 friendly draw with Espanyol at White Hart Lane. The striker, who joined for £26 million from Valencia, rolled in a penalty after Danny Rose was brought down. David Lopez equalised for Espanyol from a corner while Gareth Bale was not included in Spurs' squad.

Theo Walcott scored for Arsenal in their 3-1 friendly win against Manchester City in Helsinki. Other goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud put the Gunners in charge before Alvaro Negredo claimed a consolation for City.

Nicolas Anelka claimed a goal and an assist in West Bromwich Albion's 2-0 win against Bologna. Christian Benteke scored twice as Aston Villa beat Malaga 3-2 at Villa Park.
