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.With just two weeks of the regular season left, only Sheffield Steelers can stop Cardiff Devils from lifting the inaugural Superleague title.
The Welsh side are four points clear but Steelers have two games in hand (one of which, against Ayr Scottish Eagles, was played last night).
Cardiff could have a more comfortable cushion had they not dropped two points at Nottingham Panthers, only their eighth defeat in 36 games. Nottingham, however, were brought back to earth the next day against Manchester Storm, who overcame a two-goal deficit to win 4-2.
There were no such difficulties for Devils, who easily beat Basingstoke Bison 6-2, while Steelers kept up the pace with similar ease, beating Newcastle 4-2.
