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.Tim Horan should be omitted from Australia's World Cup squad, according to his team-mate, David Campese. Horan, a centre, suffered a serious knee injury 13 months ago and is trying to regain full fitness in time for next month's World Cup in South Africa.
"I don't think they should pick him," Campese said. "He's not really the Tim Horan of old. It takes a lot of guts and hard work to get where he is, but he's not quite the same player.''
Campese, the world record holder for try scoring, was criticised by the Australian chairman of selectors, Paul McLean, who said that his statements were "totally irresponsible".
Michael Jones, one of the world's best flankers, has been omitted from the final All Black trial for World Cup places because of his religious beliefs.
Jones is a Christian who declines to play on Sundays and World Cup matches are due to be played on the sabbath.
