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.Shaun Edwards has escaped without a ban after his sending-off at Leeds last week - which means that Giles Thomas will not make his full debut for the London Broncos at Salford tonight, writes Dave Hadfield.
Edwards was found guilty of aiming a forearm at an opponent but did not make contact. Thomas, a young recruit from rugby union in Worcester, would have started for the first time, with the transfer-listed Josh White out of favour.
The Bradford Bulls will collect the Stones Super League Championship trophy after their match against Paris at Odsal tonight.
The Leeds captain, Gary Mercer, has failed in his appeal against a five- match ban for a high tackle. With Adrian Morley injured, the loose forward prospect, Kevin Sinfield, gets into the first-team squad for the first time, against Sheffield.
The game has been reassured by Chris Smith, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, that it will have full access to the planned National Academy of Sport.
