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.

Administration-hit Bradford Bulls are around £1.5m in debt, it has been revealed.

The club are the subject of a takeover offer from Super League Europe, the umbrella organisation for the 14 top-flight clubs, which, if accepted, would stave off the threat of liquidation and ensure they see the season out.

Bullbuilder, the Bradford supporters' trust, met with the Rugby Football League director of licensing, Blake Solly, after the bid was placed.

They said in a statement: "We were told the debt of the club remains a concern and is estimated to be around £1.5m."
