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Your support makes all the difference.Sunderland defender John Mensah has had his red card against Liverpool on Sunday rescinded on appeal, the club have confirmed.
The Ghana international was dismissed by referee Kevin Friend for an 81st-minute professional foul on Luis Suarez.
However, manager Steve Bruce later admitted he had been surprised to see a straight red card and the club has now successfully appealed.
Mensah, who was due to miss the Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City on April 3, will now be available after all.
Bruce said: "We thank the Football Association for considering our appeal and naturally we are delighted he will be available for the game against Manchester City."
