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.

Rangers have refused to co-operate with the Scottish Premier League inquiry into alleged undisclosed payments to players by a previous Ibrox regime.

Charles Green, the club's chief executive, said Rangers would not attend the opening hearings of the SPL-appointed independent commission into the matter, due to take place today and tomorrow.

Green questioned the independence of the three-man panel and threatened legal action if SPL titles are stripped from Rangers. "The club cannot continue to participate in a process that we believe is fundamentally misconceived," he said.
