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 will today announce the England coach, Tony Smith, as their new head coach, to work alongside James Lowes, under whom the Wolves have lost all three of their games this season.

The Catalan Dragons have completed the signing of the controversial Australian Greg Bird and plan to give him his debut at home to Castleford on Saturday. Bird was due to join Bradford before being refused a visa by the British authorities because of an assault charge hanging over him.

He will return to Australia to defend himself at the end of next month and will have his contract cancelled if he is found guilty. Before that, he faces the question of whether the immigration department will let him into this country for the Dragons' away fixtures. That will be tested for the first time before the match at Wakefield a week on Sunday.
