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.

London Towers need just one more victory from their remaining three matches to win their first Budweiser League title. Towers negotiated a potentially tricky hurdle last night when they beat Chester Jets 126- 71.

The American Tony Windless was Towers' top scorer with 25 points as the the visitors effectively sealed the game by half time when they led 62- 31.

Birmingham Bullets remain on course to finish third in the table when they saw off Hemel Royals 94-81. The match was closely fought in the first half and the teams went into the interval level at 43-43.

Bullets then pulled clear to lead 60-49 towards the end of the third quarter, and even though Jason Siemon weighed in with a total of 22 points, Royals could find no way back. Doncaster Panthers returned to form by beating Leicester Riders 90-62.
