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.

John Collins has played down his chances of being appointed Celtic manager, and also cast doubt on Neil Lennon's hopes of landing the job. The former Parkhead midfielder and Hibernian manager Collins, 42, has been out of work since leaving Charleroi last summer.

"There's a big job in Glasgow, but I would imagine they would be going for somebody a bit more experienced than myself," Collins said. "But it is a big job for somebody, a big challenge."

Lennon was named interim manager last month after Tony Mowbray's sacking and although he has won all four of his Premier League games, Celtic suffered a shock Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County. "That was a poor defeat, but he has had four league victories on the bounce, so you never know," Collins added. "If he goes from now until the end of the season winning every game, he might have a chance."
