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.Blackburn midfielder David Dunn insists his team will adopt a hard-but-fair attitude against Manchester City tomorrow, vowing to "kick lumps" out of the big-spending Blues.
Mark Hughes' men open their Premier League campaign at Ewood Park after a summer in which they have recruited over £100million of talent in a bid to challenge for a top-four finish.
Dunn accepts Rovers may not be in the same league financially but warns City they will make up for that with sheer will to win - and a good dose of aggression.
"It's important we do our best and kick lumps out of them - fairly of course," he told the Daily Star.
"We have to be very strong and organised and the main thing is we will have to be really aggressive against them and knock them about a bit. That's what the manager will be asking from our lads. We have to make Ewood Park a place no-one wants to come to again.
Dunn added: "I think it is a good time to play City. Unfortunately we don't have the same resources. But what we do have is an even level on that pitch and as soon as the lads cross the white line the money doesn't really matter. It's about how much you want it."
