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.London Broncos insist it will be business as usual next season, despite discussions which could result in the club entering into a company voluntary agreement.
The club is almost £3m in debt and sees the agreement as a way of tidying up its financial affairs. The snag is that, under the Rugby League by-laws, London must be out of the agreement by the end of the 2005 season or face relegation from Super League.
Their coach Tony Rea, who is also a director, is not worried. "I don't think there is any drama," he said yesterday. "It is very much business as usual."
That business has included signing a 12th new player for next season. South Sydney's prop, Filimone Lolohea, has a Tongan passport and under the Kolpak Ruling does not count on the club's overseas quota, which is already full.
Gareth Ellis is expected to fly to Portugal with Wakefield for their training camp after the collapse of his proposed move to Bradford. Ellis still has a year of his Trinity contract to run.
