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.
Your support makes all the difference.The picture millions of Manchester United supporters have been waiting to see - a shocked David Moyes screaming after having a bucket of ice dumped on his head.
Moyes, who was sacked in April after a woeful 10 months at Old Trafford, was nominated by Marouane Fellaini, who he brought to United for £27.5m. It has not proved to be a smart piece of business - he has yet to score for United in a competitive match.
The Scot's anguish was for a good cause, however. He was taking part iin the Ice Bucket challenge, which raises money and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Those involved in the challenge can either choose to have a bucket of ice and water poured over them within 24 hours of being nominated, or write out a cheque for $100 to a ALS charity of choice.
Moyes joins other managers Sam Allardyce and Jose Mourinho in taking the challenge.
Harry Redknapp, on the other hand, will not be needing to take part. He has already had a bucket of ice publicly thrown over him. Remember David Bentley's jape from 2010?
And Arsene Wenger could be next - Robert Pires has nominated him.
