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.We've had our fair share of Zlatan Ibrahimovic disappointments in recent weeks.
Unfortunately for football fans in England, the agent of the Swedish striker denied that he would be moving to either Liverpool or Arsenal this summer, denying us of the chance to see the big man in regular action.
A couple of weeks ago the ghostwriter of his brilliant autobiography, I Am Zlatan, revealed that the book was almost entirely made up and was written as a novel.
Fortunately, the striker returned to a bit of form at the weekend during Sweden training.
The 6ft 4in Ibra was clearly uncomfortable in some tight fitting trousers when on national team duty on Sunday afternoon.
But rather than just change into a pair of shorts - like any normal person - he did the only thing that Zlatan would do... get the scissors out.
Enlisting the help of the kit man, Ibra cut through the trousers to fashion a pair of shorts.
And why not.
