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.Leyton Orient have made the shock appointment of Kevin Nolan as the club's new player-manager.
The 33-year-old had been without a club since West Ham terminated his contract by mutual consent over the summer after four years at Upton Park.
The former Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United midfielder, who scored 69 Premier League goals and 111 total in his career so far, will take immediate charge of first-team duties.
He will take training on Friday morning and be in the dugout when Orient travel to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
"Kevin brings with him invaluable expertise and know how, with 17 years’ experience in high level football," said a statement on the club website.
"A number of strong candidates were interviewed by the Chairman, but Kevin’s hunger, desire and passion to succeed at Leyton Orient, coupled with his experience, were key in the decision process and the Club believe they have the man to take Leyton Orient forward and improve the Club's position."
