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.

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.Neil Warnock is expected to be confirmed today as Oldham Athletic's manager until the end of the season. The former Latics forward Andy Ritchie is believed to be returning to Boundary Park from Scarborough as Warnock's assistant to lead the First Division's bottom club's battle against relegation.
Warnock, sacked by Plymouth Argyle a fortnight ago despite leading them out of the Third Division last season, replaces Graeme Sharp, who resigned earlier this month. In the past, he has also guided Notts County and Huddersfield to promotion. "I have offered my services to the end of the season and I hope I can help Oldham and myself," Warnock said yesterday. "I'll do my best to save them."
