Leeds fight back to stay in touch
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.

Leeds, runners-up last year in the Stones Bitter Championship and Silk Cut Challenge Cup to Wigan, fought back to outclass Halifax 60-27 at Headingley in their Stones Centenary Championship match yesterday.
Trailing 27-10 at the interval, Leeds took advantage of Aca Amone's dismissal for a high tackle to score 24 points in the first 15 minutes of the second half. As Leeds powered to their third successive home win, Craig Innes completed a try hat-trick and Paul Cook landed 11 goals from 11 attempts.
St Helens, who will sign the pounds 100,000-rated stand-off, Karle Hammond, from Widnes today, moved into third place with a 66-22 victory over Workington at Derwent Park.
Saints scored four tries in the opening 20 minutes to set up a 34-16 interval lead; Workington claimed three tries before half-time fighting back from 24-0. Peter Livett's try after the break proved a consolation rather than the start of a revival.
