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 demands of away travel in football are significant on the fans and often, in the excitement of a big a continental trip, particularly, things can fall through the cracks.
Remembering the basics of dental hygiene can fall into that category.
One Hoffenheim supporter who had made the trip from Sinsheim had evidently forgotten to brush his teeth on his travels and, rather than endure 90 minutes of festering mouth bacteria, opted to take action against those grizzled fangs during Liverpool's 4-2 win over his side.
Who among us can honestly say that we have not clipped our toenails at Wembley or plucked our eyebrows at Lord's?
Who, of all us judging folk, can proclaim with absolute certainty that they we have never taken a cotton bud to our inner ear canal while at Wimbledon?
Exactly. You do you, Mr Hoffenheim.
