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.Daniel Sturridge has revealed that he only does his trademark dance every time he scores because his favourite celebration of pulling his shirt over his head would see him receive a booking each time he does it.
The Liverpool striker returned from injury after five months on the sidelines with a groin injury at the weekend, scoring in the Reds 2-0 win over West Ham.
The 25-year-old striker said in a interview with BBC Match of the Day magazine magazine that his trademark dance routine only came about because of the rule which stipulates pulling your shirt over your head will warrant a booking.
"Back in the day the best celebration was the shirt over the head, but now that's a yellow card – that's how this one started," he said.
'It's been a long time and I was just desperate to get back out there and help my team win some games – that's really the most important thing for me."
