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.

Tottenham captain Ledley King is a major doubt for Sunday's visit to Stoke as he continues to recover from the knee injury which ruled him out of last week's win against Bolton. Harry Redknapp, the club's manager, had described the defender's return as pivotal in Spurs' impressive start to the campaign and his potential absence for the second successive week would be a big blow. Redknapp does have three fully fit central defenders – Younes Kaboul, Sébastien Bassong and William Gallas – to choose from.
