QUOTES OF THE WEEK
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 You don't practise an abandon ship, but panic is not something you see.

n I'll be there to shake Ron's hand. Whether he'll shake mine I don't know. Doug Ellis, the Aston Villa chairman who sacked Ron Atkinson, before last Monday's reunion in the Premiership.

n There are no easy games in the Premiership - except Ipswich at home. Alan Shearer putting United's 9-0 win in perspective.
n I have told everyone I'm going to be a legend. I'm a prince who is about to be a king. The three words I like to hear about myself are "ultimate, supreme, extraordinary". Boxer "Prince" Naseem Hamed after his win over Sergio Liendo.
n Eric Cantona got banned for kicking the living daylights out of a fan and I get the same for throwing a bloody vegetable on the pitch. Craig Allen, the Bolton Wanderers fan who was banned for three months for throwing a turnip in the direction of Graham Taylor, the Wolves manager.
