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.

The Tottenham manager Martin Jol has admitted he may consider a bid for David Beckham. The former England captain has yet to sign a new deal at Real Madrid and admits he is frustrated at his lack of action this season after the arrival of new manager Fabio Capello.

The 31-year-old has been used largely as a substitute and missed Saturday's match with newly promoted Gimnastic Tarragona because of injury. There has been increasing speculation about interest in Beckham from America's Major League Soccer.

Jol said: "I'll sit down and have a think about it. We are well covered on the flanks already. It's a difficult one. We've got Wayne Routledge, although he is out on loan, plus Hossam Ghaly and Aaron Lennon."
