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.

Michael Jordan is, arguably, the best player in NBA history. Now he is indisputably the owner of the worst team in NBA history.

On Thursday his Charlotte Bobcats lost their 23rd straight, and final game of the season for a 7-59 record and a winning percentage of just .106, worse than the .110 posted by the 1972/73 Philadelphia 76ers.

Some argue the team is going through unavoidable rebuilding. Tom Sorenson of the The Charlotte Observer is blunter. "They just have less talent than the other team every night."
