Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 3 CHELSEA
It's all over at Dean Court, with Chelsea securing the three points and continuing their fine form at the top of the table. Two first half goals from Costa and Hazard provided Conte's men the advantage, but King's sublime striker just before the interval gave Bournemouth a lease of life. A stunning free kick from Alonso in the second half sealed the deal for the title toppers. Chelsea now sit seven points clear of Tottenham and take yet another stride towards their fifth league title.
It's been a glorious day of Premier League football. That is all from us today here at The Independent, but make sure you tune in tomorrow.
Thanks.
