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.

HEARTS supporters are becoming increasingly convinced that Celtic do not have the exclusive rights to the term 'crisis'. They are demanding to be heard amid feelings of paranoia that Celtic's troubles grabbed the headlines while their problems are ignored, writes David McKinney.

Celtic at least are winning games while the Edinburgh side have recorded just one victory in the last 16 matches, and after the 1-0 defeat by Raith the Hearts fans made their feelings known by demonstrating outside Tynecastle for 20 minutes after the game.

The targets for their attentions are Wallace Mercer, the club chairman who is looking to sell his shares in the club, and Sandy Clark, the manager.

However, while neither can be pleased with the recent run it is unlikely there will be changes. The club are in the process of finding funds for a new stadium giving them little money to throw around while to sever Clark's employment would entail some outlay.
