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 new Superleague champions, Cardiff Devils, will start and finish their quest for a triumphant end to their campaign with away matches.
The league yesterday finalised the play-off fixtures for the remaining three weeks of the season, with Cardiff drawn in Group A alongside Ayr Scottish Eagles, Newcastle Cobras and Manchester Storm.
Cardiff start the six-game programme with a Group A trip to Newcastle on Saturday and end with a trip to Manchester's Nynex Arena on Thursday 13 March. On Sunday the Nynex attracted a record crowd for a British match - 17,245 - as the hosts, Manchester Storm, defeated last year's Grand Slam winners, Sheffield Steelers. It will stage the semi-finals and finals - replacing the traditional venue, Wembley Arena.
