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.Salford are waiting for suspended assistant coach Malcolm Alker to make the next move in his apparent dispute with the Super League club, who are still operating without a head coach.
The former captain, who joined the staff after retiring as a player last season, was ordered home from training late last week by football director Steve Simms.
The former hooker, who is thought to have sought advice from the players' trade union, a wing of the GMB, was expected at the club yesterday but Simms said: "He's not back and I've not heard from him."
