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.Wakefield's inspirational prop Michael Korkidas has been cleared to play in their make-or-break fixture at Bradford on Friday after escaping suspension on a head-butting charge.
The Australian was sent off at St Helens last weekend, but that was ruled to be sufficient punishment at a disciplinary hearing last night. Wakefield will be relegated from Super League is they lose at Odsal.
It could be next week before a decision is made on the immediate future of Paul Sculthorpe. The St Helens and Great Britain captain has had scans on the knee injury which has plagued him for a year, but Saints want him to see other specialists before deciding whether he can play on.
