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.ELLERY HANLEY has agreed a new contract which will keep him at Leeds for next season, writes Dave Hadfield. The former Great Britain captain, now 33, had been considering retirement, but he will now resume the coaching duties which he combines with playing.
'He had been thinking about retiring while he was still at the top, but I've managed to persuade him that retirement is not all it's cracked up to be,' the Leeds coach, Doug Laughton, said.
Retaining their most influential player, as well as signing experienced internationals like George Mann, Esene Faimalo and Patrick Entat, gives Leeds, last season's beaten Cup-finalists, a powerful-looking squad for the new campaign.
The Rugby League is moving from Chapeltown Road in Leeds, its headquarters for almost 60 years, to a new base on the outskirts of the city. Red Hall House has room around it for pitches and training facilities, enabling it to be used as a base by Great Britain teams.
