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.Leeds have made their first signing - just two days after new owners took over the club. They have beaten Super League rivals Bradford, Halifax, Warrington and Wigan for the signature of 18-year-old centre Neil Kite from the Barrow Island amateur club.
Reports of a takeover bid for the Super League club Castleford have been dismissed by their former chairman David Poulter, one of the club's major shareholders. Ron Hill, a former Castleford player and director, is fronting a consortium said to be considering making a bid for the club.
Oldham Bears have secured the club's financial future after shareholders approved a board request to turn their loans into shares. The directors will now put another pounds 50,000 into the club and increase personal guarantees at the bank from pounds 100,000 to pounds 200,000. In turn, the bank will increase the club's overdraft from pounds 350,000 to pounds 500,000.
