Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Hearts have completed the signing of Scotland's Under-21 striker Jim Hamilton from Dundee for pounds 200,000 and he goes into the squad to face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park today.

Hamilton has signed a three-year deal and brings the number of players the Hearts manager, Jim Jefferies, has signed in his 16-month tenure to 17.

The Aberdeen defender Colin Woodthorpe faces severe action from the Scottish Football Association after snatching a yellow card from a referee as he was about to be sent off.

Woodthorpe had already been booked by Martin Johnston during a reserve match against Dunfermline. When the referee produced the yellow card for a second time, the player grabbed it and threw it at the official.

Woodthorpe has since been fined by Aberdeen for his action and the SFA have confirmed that the referee's report has been received.
