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.The former Leeds star and Australian international Vic Hey, who helped the Yorkshire club win the Challenge Cup in 1941 and 1942, has died in Sydney after a long illness at the age of 82. Hey, one of the game's greatest stand-offs, played six Tests for Australia before moving to England, where he played for Dewsbury and Hunslet as well as Leeds in an 11-year spell.
He returned to Australia in 1946 and coached the Kangaroos to their first Ashes series victory over Great Britain in 30 years in 1950 and to their triumph four years later.
