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.Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell will sit out a three-game ban after an appeal against his dismissal in Monday night's 3-2 win over Fulham was rejected.
A Football Association Independent Regulatory Commission today rejected a claim of wrongful dismissal after Sidwell saw red for a late challenge on Armand Traore after 79 minutes.
"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, Fulham's Steve Sidwell has had his claim for wrongful dismissal rejected," an FA statement read.
"Sidwell was dismissed for serious foul play during his side's game at home to Queens Park Rangers on 1 April 2013."
The 30-year-old's ban will begin immediately to rule him out of this weekend's trip to Newcastle, before matches against former clubs Aston Villa and Chelsea.
