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.Stoke have held talks with wantaway Rangers midfielder Jamie Ness about a move to the Britannia Stadium.
The 21-year-old, who made just 18 appearances for the Scottish side, has exercised his right to terminate his contract from the soon-to-be-liquidated Rangers to the newco club.
PFA Scotland believe all players who have done so are free agents and have asked the football authorities to release their registration from Rangers, but newco chief executive Charles Green has vowed to seek compensation.
Ness spoke to Potters manager Tony Pulis earlier this week at the club's training ground and Press Association Sport understands Stoke are hopeful of securing a deal with the player - who has yet to have his medical - in the next few days.
However, the move may be complicated by legal wranglings if Green follows through his threat of court action.
