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.Castleford have received a confidence boost for next season with the decision of two of their most promising young players to reject Super League offers and stay with the relegated club. The centre Michael Shenton and the prop Craig Huby, both aged 20, have agreed to stay on.
Shenton was a target for Wakefield, who have already signed Waine Pryce and Danny Sculthorpe from Castleford.
Leeds have agreed to release Shane Millard clearing the way for the hooker to join Wigan. The Australian agreed an extended contract in mid-season but has requested a release. He will join the Warriors as back-up to Micky Higham, replacing Wayne Godwin, who has joined Hull.
The Scottish rugby union international Jon Steel has agreed a one-year contract extension with Hull KR, whose prop, James Garmston, is joining Doncaster on a two-year deal.
The St Helens winger Ade Gardner has withdrawn from the Cumbria team to play Tonga on 25 October because of injury.
