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.Nottingham Forest's loan signing Darren Huckerby made his presence felt again as his new team won 4-1 at Gillingham to move up to third place in the First Division table.
Huckerby, borrowed from Manchester City, volleyed in his first goal in the seventh minute and steered in a second 10 minutes later. He had scored on his Forest debut against Watford last Saturday. Marlon Harewood made it 3-0 just after half-time and John Thompson headed in a fourth from a corner before a late consolation for the Gills from Rod Wallace.
Sheffield United climbed to fourth as they warmed up for Sunday's FA Cup sixth-round tie with Leeds by winning 4-1 at Grimsby. The Blades were 3-0 ahead in just 32 minutes through goals from Dean Windass, Steve Kabba and Rob Kozluk. Stuart Campbell pulled one back for Grimsby but they had Alan Pouton sent off before a late strike from Michael Brown wrapped things up for United.
