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.

LEAGUE TROPHY holders Sheffield Sharks secured their place in the quarter-finals last night with an 85-83 victory over Manchester Giants, after a late surge orchestrated by Travis Conlan settled this season's first meeting between the Budweiser League's top two clubs.

Twenty four hours earlier, Giants needed two periods of overtime to defeat Thames Valley Tigers 121-118 in another Group A game, which featured the season's highest individual score of 54 points from Manchester's John White.

Other Group A action saw Derby Storm move closer to the quarter-finals with an 81-77 win over Milton Keynes Lions. In the League, Edinburgh Rocks produced their best win of the season by defeating Thames Valley 94-84. Newcastle Eagles recovered to beat Worthing Bears 96-89 in overtime.
