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.New Zealand Test centre Jamahl Lolesi's career could be over after being left out of Huddersfield's roster for the coming season. Lolesi has not been allocated a squad number, following major back surgery over the winter.
"He can't play or train fully," said the Giants' managing director, Richard Thewlis. "Time is his only healer and even then he has no set date when he will be ready to go again, if at all."
The 29-year-old New Zealander is helping out in the club's offices during his enforced lay-off. He still has a year left on his contract, although there must be severe doubt now about his ability to fulfil it.
He has been with Huddersfield since 2007, scoring 27 tries in 82 appearances as a regular in the side that has achieved so much in that time. He was limited to 15 games last season.
