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.

GUILDFORD KINGS are now being paid out of the gate money after games at the Spectrum Arena. So, after a season of virtual non-payment, their coach, Kevin Cadle, hopes his players can focus on salvaging some competitive pride in the Budweiser Championship play-offs at Wembley Arena at the end of April, writes Duncan Hooper.

Their first hurdle is to qualify from the quarter-finals which come at the end of the current league programme. They struck a psychological blow this week by beating Birmingham Bullets 87-80. Cadle said: 'We played hard and it was a breath of fresh air to see the players competing again.' Thames Valley's first league

title came closer with London Tower's 69-65 win over Manchester on Thursday in their first game at the Wembley Court.
