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.

New York Rangers kept alive their pursuit of a first Stanley Cup victory since 1940 when they scored a 2-1 double-overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference final. It is the first time they have reached the championship decider since 1979. Stephane Matteau secured the win after 4min 24sec of the secind overtime. The Rangers, who have won three of their nine finals, host Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.
