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.Q. Hull's Steve Craven was sent off in the fifth minute of his side's rugby league match against Batley last season. Is this a record?
A. Ben Rowe was preparing to come on as a substitute for Exeter City away at Fulham in the 1990-91 season. He was warming up alongside a linesman when Fulham scored what proved to be the only goal of the game. Rowe, in a good position to judge, thought the scorer was offside, a view widely shared at the ground. Rowe told the linesman, quite possibly for which he was dismissed by the referee. He had thus achieved the rare feat of being sent off before he came on. - Andrew Long, Hagley
