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.

Leeds are discussing a one-year contract with their captain, Ellery Hanley, to help end speculation that he is about to leave the club to coach Wigan. Doug Laughton, the Leeds coach, said no agreement had been reached with Hanley. He added: 'Ellery is away at the moment but we will have more talks when he returns. Obviously I would love him to stay with us.' He denied a report that Hanley had been offered pounds 100,000 for a one-year contract. The club are discussing a 12-month deal because that is what they believe Hanley wants.
