QUOTES OF THE WEEK
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.

n There's a lot of narcissists in this team, guys waiting around to make a big play for selfish reasons. Pierre Berbizier, French coach, after mediocre victory over Tonga.

n The selectors didn't come from the right schools. Liam Botham, on not being picked for the North cricket team.
n I was monster, monster shocked. I am monster, monster happy. Eric Hall, Dennis Wise's agent, at the dismissal of the case against his client for assault and criminal damage.
