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.The West Ham manager, Sam Allardyce, wants a positive reaction from his players against Norwich at Upton Park after the Hammers' 1-0 defeat by fellow promoted side Reading on Saturday.
Norwich, who had previously been on a 10-match unbeaten run, have lost their last three while West Ham have won just one of their last eight Premier League fixtures.
Allardyce said: "We need to bounce back. We've got to make sure we become better at creating and taking our chances, otherwise it's going to be tough. The balls into the box haven't been given enough quality to open up a defence as everybody starts tightening up at this stage of the season."

Odds: West Ham 11-10 Draw 12-5 Norwich 12-5
