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.Gary Neville, the England assistant coach, does not like players wearing earphones before the start of a match it seems.
Here he is pulling out Jack Wilshere's earphones on the pitch at Celtic Park before England's 3-1 friendly win over Scotland as the Arsenal man got ready.
He could of course, just not like Wilshere's taste in music.
Wilshere, possibly inspired by the words of Neville, went on to make a magical assist for the opening goal, setting up his club-team mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with a delightful, lofted through-ball.

Captain Wayne Rooney scored twice as England beat their fierce rival. After Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal, Rooney then doubled England's lead in the 47th-minute, heading in after Scotland failed to clear James Milner's free-kick.
Andrew Robertson gave Scotland fans hope late on with a well taken goal seven minutes from time, but any encouragement Gordon Strachan's side had gained was lost two minutes later when Rooney smashed in a cutback from Adam Lallana to finish a neat passing move and secure victory for Roy Hodgson's side.
