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.Stephen Dobbie will go to Wembley a week tomorrow looking to become the first man to earn three consecutive promotions via the play-offs.
The frontman, who scored for Blackpool in their 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Wednesday which secured a 3-2 aggregate win and earned the Seasiders a crack at West Ham on 19 May, won Championship play-offs with Blackpool in 2010 and Swansea last season, when he scored against Reading.
Dobbie opened the scoring at St Andrew's on Wednesday with his sixth goal in seven starts since joining Blackpool on loan from Swansea in March. He has a year left on his contract at the Liberty Stadium but Blackpool hope to sign him permanently for £500,000 in the summer.
