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.This is how the injured Mesut Ozil watched Arsenal's game against Stoke today, with his feet up in his house.
The £42.5m German international was absent for the Gunners trip with a slight foot injury, the club confirmed.
So instead of playing in frosty 1C temperatures at the Britannia Stadium, Ozil rested and watched the game with his dog, Balboa.
Ozil added in the tweet that he hopes to be back for the Gunners next match, against Chelsea next Sunday.
The 27-year-old, who has been Arsenal's standout performer this season with 16 assists in the Premier League, wrote: "Watching the match vs. Stoke! Hopefully I'll be back well for the next match. But for now: COME ON YOU GUNNERS."
Arsenal were also without another key man in Alexis Sanchez on Sunday, with the Chile forward, sidelined of late by a hamstring problem, not featuring in the matchday squad despite Gunners boss Arsene Wenger suggesting he could be involved for the first time since November.
New signing Mohamed Elneny was named on the bench.
