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.Dennis Rodman, the former NBA legend, is returning to play two more British Basketball League games for Brighton Bears next week, at home to Newcastle Eagles on Tuesday and against London Towers 24 hours later at Crystal Palace.
Guildford have protested that the Bears broke eligibility rules fielding Rodman in addition to their three work-permit players in their 91-88 defeat two weeks ago. Brighton counter-claimed that their Barbadian player Andrew Alleyne no longer required a permit, thus clearing the way for Rodman. The BBL gave them until 4pm yesterday to provide Alleyne's passport showing his resident status.
TJ Walker scored 25 points for Newcastle last night as they defeated Chester Jets 90-79 to close the gap on leaders Scottish Rocks to two points.
