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.Josh Charnley got three tries as Wigan moved to the top of the Super League table last night with a 36-22 win over Hull KR at the JJB Stadium but had to withstand a late rally from the visitors when the game seemed to be in the bag.
In the night's other game, St Helens brushed aside Wakefield 38-12 with a eight-try show at Langtree Park to record their third Super League win in a row. Chris Flannery swept over for a hat-trick and Sol Soliola crossed twice as Saints warmed up for Saturday's Carnegie Cup quarter-final at Wigan in style.
Wakefield trailed 22-6 at half-time with James Roby scoring a memorable long-range try for Saints in the second half.
Saints piled up 98 points in their two league wins last season over Wakefield who fell behind to a Flannery try after six minutes. They hit back almost immediately through Dean Collis but Soliola then took a Wellens' pass to stretch over the line to make it 12-6. He then grabbed his second try after taking Roby's pass to dart 30 yards and outpace the Wildcats cover.
