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 Great Britain forward Adrian Morley is set to return from Australia to Super League next season after receiving only a one-year offer to extend his stay with Sydney Roosters.
The 29-year-old former Leeds favourite is out of contract at the end of the year, and no fewer than 10 Super League clubs are thought to have expressed an interest in him, with Warrington thought to be among the front runners, along with Leeds and Bradford.
Leeds have signed the New Zealand Test centre, Clinton Toopi, as the replacement for the departing Chev Walker. Toopi, 26, is coming next season on a three-year contract from New Zealand Warriors. Toopi will take up a spot on Leeds' overseas quota, which is currently filled by Ali Lauitiiti, Scott Donald and Mark O'Neill, the latter of whom is out of contract at the end of this season.
The Warriors and other NRL clubs made efforts to keep Toopi in the southern hemisphere, where he is regarded as one of the game's great entertainers.
Walker, who has already rejected Leeds' terms for next season, looks set to switch to rugby union with Bath.
The Melbourne Storm, who along with Wigan had been showing keen interest in the Great Britain centre or second row, have been told by his representatives that he has opted to change codes.
