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.

In one of the most bizarre goal celebrations you are likely to see, Cologne forward Anthony Ujah grabbed the club's mascot, Hennes the goat, by the horns in over-exuberant celebration.

However, Ujah was a bit too excited and pulled on the horns of poor Hennes with such force that he has since tweeted an apology to the goat.

"Yeeeeees. Finally a win for us at home and what a special way it came," Ujah wrote after Cologne won for the first time in seven matches.

"Sorry to Hennes I was a bit too hard on him."

Today, Ujah went a step further, visiting Hennes to feed him carrots on his eighth birthday...
