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.Maurice Lindsay is expected to have his switch to Super League confirmed today, with the former chief executive of the Rugby Football League saying that he is leaving behind "a lot of dross".
Lindsay, eased out of his previous job last week, also said that nothing could prevent him taking up his new position. "I'm afraid no one can stop me. It is going to happen."
Lindsay, in charge at the RFL for five years, said he would be delighted to leave the in-fighting behind. "I got frustrated with having to deal with a lot of drivel," he said.
Super League clubs will discuss the move tomorrow and the appointment should be confirmed straight afterwards.
