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 American owner of a tow-truck manufacturer has been chosen to rescue Rangers after they went into administration three months ago.
Bill Miller, whose Miller Industries is based in the southern state of Tennessee, saw off competition from the Blue Knights, a consortium led by former Rangers director Paul Murray, which had the backing of fans' groups.
The decision should mark the beginning of the end of one of the most turbulent episodes in the 140-year history of Rangers, who have won 54 League titles.
"We are delighted to announce that we have received an unconditional bid for the business and assets of Rangers from Bill Miller which has been accepted and he is now the preferred bidder," administrators Duff and Phelps said. "Mr Miller now proposes to complete his transaction by the end of the season." The deal has been structured so it avoids Rangers going into liquidation.
Meanwhile, Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been handed a six-match touchline ban – half of which is suspended – over his conduct following the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Hearts.
