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.

Rugby League

Leeds have released Alan Tait, the 32-year-old former Widnes and Great Britain full-back. The former Kelso and Scotland union centre, who played for the Scots at RL, has had his contract terminated by mutual consent. "I hope to finish my career by being involved in junior rugby union development in Scotland," he said.

Salford, newly-promoted to the Super League, have signed the sprinter Peter Maitland, who has been playing for Bridgend RU Club and was a target for Cardiff, on a twelve-month contract.

The Wigan stand-off Nigel Wright is set to return to full training next week after a 14-month injury spell which began when he snapped ligaments in his right ankle. He has since undergone four operations.
