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.

Brian McDermott, the Leeds coach, is wary of the threat posed by England full-back Sam Tomkins ahead of the Rhinos' Stobart Super League home game with Wigan tonight.

Warriors will go into the match with more than half their forwards missing, but McDermott knows his side still have their work cut out to stop Tomkins. "He is a world-class player and someone who is an incredible talent," McDermott said.

"He has lit up Super League in recent years and while we will be trying to make him look bad on the night, he is someone I like."
