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.Bristol's golf-mad rugby players have been told they must use buggies if they go out on the fairways. The Courage League First Division club are worried that their 30-man professional squad is in danger of becoming too "tired" from walking around golf courses.
"We've got no problems with the guys playing golf," Mark Tainton, Bristol's rugby development manager, said. "But we are worried about them getting tired between training sessions, so we've insisted they use buggies to travel around in. Otherwise, it is a four-hour walk. Courses without buggies are no-go areas."
