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.Mike Griffiths, the Welsh prop, has signed for Wasps in a deal that will pay him pounds 210,000 over the next three years.
Griffiths, who won the last of his 34 caps in last June's World Cup, is not even a first choice at Cardiff. The 34-year-old made his Wales debut in 1988 and toured with the Lions the following year.
Rob Smith, the Wasps coach said: "Mike is a very strong scrummager. The laws are changing next season and we are back to serious scrums."
Robert Howley, the Bridgend scrum-half and captain, was last night named Welsh Player of the Year. The outside-half Lee Jarvis, who is joining Cardiff from Pontypridd, was named the Most Promising Player of the Year.
Phil Moss has stepped down as Orrell coach after two years in charge and has handed over to Andy Macfarlane. The new man joined the club from Sale as player-coach and made his debut at No 8 in the 29-26 home defeat by Bristol in Orrell's final game of the season last weekend.
