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.

SHEFFIELD STEELERS last night blew the chance to go top of the Superleague as Nottingham Panthers gained sweet revenge for their agonising defeat on Boxing Day.

Panthers notched up a 6-5 victory with Aaron Cain clinching victory two minutes from time, even though the Steelers managed a late reply. Just 24 hours earlier at the Sheffield Arena, Steelers had rallied from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and give their coach, Mike Blaisdell, the perfect Christmas present against his old side.

The table-topping London Knights, meanwhile, went down 4-1 in the afternoon at home to Bracknell Bees in front of the biggest crowd of the season of just under 5,000 at the London Arena. Bracknell maintained the only unbeaten away record in Superleague.
