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.

The Huddersfield loose forward Luke O'Donnell is the first player to be named in the "drip-feed" selection process for the Exiles team to meet England in June. Under the system, the side's coach, Brian McClennan, who has already announced Leeds' Danny Buderus and Thomas Leuluai of Wigan as his captain and vice-captain, has one pick a week, with the other 13 in the squad selected by a fans' ballot.

Australian representative O'Donnell was man-of-the-match in Friday's win over Warrington, after which coach Nathan Brown called him Super League's "buy of the season".
