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.

Shaun Edwards, shown the door by Bradford, has re-signed with the London Broncos and may play at Halifax tomorrow. Edwards has commited himself to the Broncos for the rest of this season and two more.

David Howes, who resigned as chief executive at St Helens 10 days ago, has been appointed managing director of the newly formed Leeds Rugby Ltd. Leeds' chief executive, Gary Hetherington, will continue to manage both rugby operations, but Howes - once No 2 at The Rugby League - brings vast experience to the commercial front.

Rodney Howe, the Test forward who played for Widnes in 1993-94, has become the third Australian player this season to be exposed as testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

The Halifax prop, Kelvin Skerrett, has been suspended for two matches after being sent off for punching at Leeds last week.
