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.Rochdale have appointed the former Swansea manager, John Hollins, to fill the post left vacant by Steve Parkin's departure for Barnsley a month ago.
The former Chelsea, Queen's Park Rangers and Arsenal player will take over from the caretaker manager, David Hamilton, at the Third Division club. Hamilton will continue as first-team coach, with Jamie Hoyland reverting to coach of the youth side. Hollins, sacked by Swansea in September, has been offered a contract until the end of the season.
Ipswich's Titus Bramble has cast doubt on his long-term future by turning down the club's offer of a two-year contract extension. The 20-year-old centre-back has more than two years left on his existing deal, which expires in the summer of 2004.
The Leicester defender Gerry Taggart will miss the rest of the season. The Northern Ireland international was expected to return in February, nine months after a knee operation. However, the 31-year-old defender is to have further surgery.
Middlesbrough's goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer, will travel to London for a hernia operation tomorrow and is likely to be out of action for around six weeks. The 29-year-old returned from Australia's World Cup play-off tie with Uruguay struggling with a groin injury.
QPR have confirmed they are in ground-sharing talks with Fulham. The Premiership club want to use Loftus Road as a temporary base next season while they build a £70m ground.
