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.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the Stanley Cup finals after beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 to win the Eastern Conference title on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh lost to the Detroit Red Wings last year in the NHL finals but will get a chance to avenge that if the Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western finals.

Max Talbot put the Penguins 2-1 ahead in the first period as they outscored the Hurricanes 20-9 in the series, netted at least three goals in each game, and trailed for just a total of 20 minutes, 30 seconds.
