Cousins finds his best form
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.

Steven Cousins is lying third after the men's short programme at the European Figure Skating Championships in Sofia behind Ukraine's Viacheslav Zagorodniuk and the defending champion, Ilya Kulik of Russia.
Cousins' routine to the tune "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" was full of slinky moves to the slow sections of the music. His triple axel- triple toe loop combination was slightly flawed on the second landing but not enough to cost him dear.
Cousins, British champion for the past seven seasons, has been rising slowly but steadily up the ranks and yesterday's performance was one of his finest.
