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.Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown is set to make sweeping changes following Monday's shock defeat at Salford. Brown left out Brett Hodgson, Eorl Crabtree, Lee Gilmour, Keith Mason and David Fa'alogo, but all five are in the squad to face Castleford tomorrow. He said the team that played at The Willows were "not hungry enough" but refused to blame his selection.
"Several of those who will be back on Friday could have played, at a pinch at Salford, but it's a long, hard season," he said."If I had my time again I would have selected the same team."
Wigan hope to have Amos Roberts back within two months after a scan revealed the extent of his Easter Monday injury. The full-back was feared to have broken his leg against Wakefield. Instead, he has been diagnosed with a rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament, an injury that normally means an eight-week lay-off.
"Amos has been enjoying his football and has been doing a great job for us, but we've got some good people who can come into the side," said the Wigan coach, Michael Maguire.
