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.Mike Burton, the coach of the month, takes Chester Jets to Wembley tomorrow needing to put another dent in London Towers' defence of their Budweiser League title, and to take a psychological edge in case they meet in next month's 7-Up League Trophy final.
Chester, the leaders, won at Wembley in October and it took an underarm three-pointer from Danny Lewis to give Towers a 79-76 win at the Jets in December. Chester lead Towers by two points but have played three games more. Kevin Cadle, the Towers coach, said: "If we win, the Jets will be three losses behind us and that will make them long shots for the League."
Chester take a four-point lead into Thursday's second leg of their Trophy semi-final at Leicester City Riders. London lost their first leg 75-74 at Sheffield Sharks on Thursday. They led 74-69, but could not score for the last five minutes.
