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.

n I wouldn't know, because I'd have jumped off the stand. Francis Lee, the Manchester City chairman, when asked what the club's finances would be like if City are relegated this season.

n Our media have described them as amateurs and chicken farmers. We know they are good players and treat them as such. Mike Atherton, the England cricket captain, after the seven-wicket defeat by Mashonaland.

n It was pure luck. Peter Schmeichel on his save against Rapid Vienna which is being compared to the one by Gordon Banks from Pele in the 1970 World Cup.

n I'll be doing my best. We haven't had the best of luck against Germany in semi-final meetings. Tim Henman, the British tennis No 1, on his meeting with Boris Becker in today's semi-finals of the Compaq Grand Slam Cup in Munich.

n There is definitely a lack of motivation. Andre Agassi, former world No 1, after his defeat by Mark Woodforde at the same event.

n I can't say no to Berlusconi [Milan's owner]. Milan call me, I can only resign. Try to understand. Arrigo Sacchi after finally calling it a day with Italy to take over as coach at Milan.
