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.

Blackpool have today completed the signing of Israel international Dekel Keinan.

Keinan, who has agreed an initial one-year deal with an option for a further 12 months, has become the seventh summer recruit for Tangerines boss Ian Holloway after moving on a free transfer from Maccabi Haifa.

The 25-year-old defender has passed a medical and been granted a work permit and will go straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to London to take on Arsenal.

"I'm looking forward to the first game and I'm very happy that everything is done," Keinan said on www.blackpoolfc.co.uk.

"I just want to play for Blackpool and help this team.

"I had different offers but after I met the gaffer I was sure that I wanted to play for Blackpool."
