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.

The Blackburn midfielder Billy McKinlay has escaped with a pounds 750 fine after becoming the first Premiership player to amass 45 penalty points in a season. The Scottish international was up before a Football Association disciplinary committee yesterday and feared he may get a long-term suspension, but the FA decided on the fine and a warning to McKinlay over his future conduct.

Des Walker will be staying at Sheffield Wednesday, after he signed a new four-year contract yesterday. The former England centre-half had been the subject of speculation about moves to Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest.

The Nottingham Forest striker Jason Lee has agreed personal terms with Watford and will join the Second Division side when the clubs agree a fee.

Brighton have been told by Crawley Council that they cannot share the new Broadfield Stadium with Crawley Town next season. The council-owned ground is due to be completed at the end of July, and was considered an option by the Seagulls should their plans to use Hove greyhound stadium fall through.
