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.Paul Newlove could play his first competitive game for Castleford at Hull tonight. The former St Helens and Great Britain centre was the Tigers' major close-season signing but damaged a foot in a friendly against Huddersfield and has been outsince then. Now he has been included in the squad for the KC Stadium and will play left centre if he passes a fitness test.
Hull have recalled the former Penrith forward Ryan Benjafield from his loan at York, following the thigh strain that could keep Ewan Dowes out of their Easter programme.
One of Super League's perfect records will go tonight when Leeds face Bradford. Headingley will be a 21,000 sell-out for what the Rhinos' chief executive, Gary Hetherington, calls "the biggest derby in world rugby of either code". The Leeds coach, Tony Smith, has sprung one surprise by relegating Danny McGuire, who was named Super League Player of the Month, to the bench.
In tonight's other game, Jon Wells returns to London's side against his old club, Wakefield, replacing Mark O'Halloran, who has broken his hand. Trinity have the former Dewsbury wing Michael Wainwright making his debut in place of the injured Justin Ryder.
