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' challenge for the Budweiser League title is on the line at Wembley tomorrow, but their coach, Kevin Cadle, is confined to the TV commentary team alongside his rival on the night, Birmingham Bullets' Mike Finger. Both Americans are serving a one-game ban for the match, after berating officials in two different games in recent weeks. They decided to entrust coaching duties to their assistants rather than risk further punishment by appealing, and instead will sit side by side on the television platform.
Towers already have eight defeats, the same number asGreater London Leopards in winning the title last season. Leopards have 21 wins from 26 games after beating Towers 93-83 last weekend and Newcastle Eagles 100-97 in overtime on Wednesday.
Bullets have 20 wins from 25 games, ahead of Sheffield Sharks on 19 from 25 and Towers in fourth, but they cannot afford to lose another game.
