Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Warrington came from behind to beat Castleford 40-30 and keep the heat on Super League table-toppers Huddersfield.

The Wolves trailed 24-12 at half-time, but fought their way back to restore parity before late tries from Mickey Higham and Joel Monaghan won them the game.

There was another comeback at Wakefield where Bradford recovered from an 18-10 deficit to win 26-24. Three tries in 12 minutes, from Tom Olbison, Jamie Foster and Brett Kearney, did the trick at Belle Vue.

St Helens saw off Catalan Dragons 26-6 with captain Paul Wellens scoring two tries in his 400th Super League appearance. The victory takes Saints above Dragons into fifth place.

Hosts Wigan defeated Hull KR 21-16 as Josh Charnley claimed a two tries, although his second was controversial as the ball appeared to make contact with the corner post before it was grounded. The Wigan captain Sean O’Loughlin suffered a calf injury before the break.

Widnes coach Denis Betts was shell-shocked by his side’s 72-10 capitulation at Hull. “I didn’t see that coming,” said Betts. For the Black and Whites, Jamie Shaul, Tom Briscoe and Jacob Miller all scored two tries apiece.
