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.CARLTON PALMER signed for Leeds United yesterday in a pounds 2.6m move from Sheffield Wednesday. The 28-year-old England international agreed a four-year deal with the Elland Road side. Palmer will be asked to play in defence by the Leeds manager, Howard Wilkinson. 'It's nice to be wanted to play in one permanent position,' he said. Last season Palmer did not see eye-to-eye with Trevor Francis, the Hillsborough manager, about his role in the Wednesday side.
Prior to selling Palmer, Wednesday signed Port Vale's out-of-contract midfielder, Ian Taylor. The fee will probably be decided by a tribunal.
