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.Allan Border, the former Australian Test captain, has delayed his retirement from first-class cricket for at least another year. He will continue to play for the Sheffield Shield champions, Queensland, in the competition next season after informing officials of his availability. Border, who turns 40 later this month, spent the close season considering his future after fulfilling an ambition to help Queensland lift the Shield title for the first time in their history.
