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.

Despite being moved and renamed, Whitley Warriors, now Newcastle Warriors, have hardly had the best of starts. The crowds are holding up but the results (one win and one draw from 12 games) have seen the side rooted to the bottom of the table, writes Steve Pinder.
The visit of Humberside Hawks looked like another match to mark down as an away win.
Warriors led 4-1, but they have been in this position before and collapsed. Humberside's siege on Kevin Dean looked like the beginning of the end. But he held out, the tide turned and Warriors scored five without reply to lead 9-1. Newcastle won 11-4, and although still bottom they looked like a team who had turned the corner.
