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.Scotland's Development side recorded the second successive win of their tour of New Zealand, beating Counties B 47-32. Gareth Flockhart ran in three tries and Mark McKenzie scored 22 points with the boot, from five conversions and four penalties. The Silver Thistles' last official match is against invitation side Harlequins on Wednesday 23 July.
John Liley, the Leicester full-back, and scrum-half Aadel Kardooni are joining the summer exodus of players from Welford Road. Liley is following winger Steve Hackney to Moseley and is expected to sign a two-year contract on Monday. Kardooni is set to join the former Tigers and England winger, Rory Underwood, at Bedford when he returns from holiday next week. That will bring the number of players who have left the Tigers this summer to six, and it could become eight: stand-off Rob Liley is expected to sign for Harlequins and Moseley are also having talks with flanker Bill Drake-Lee.
