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.

Ice hockey

A fortnight after their last clash, Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers were again involved in a fractious local derby, writes Steve Pinder.

When Ken Priestlay put Sheffield 2-1 ahead near the end of the first period, it was the signal for the two sides to engage in the sort of altercation that marks their meetings. Five Steelers and four Panthers men were sent to the penalty bench.

Two minutes from the end, Simon Hunt of Nottingham and Chris Kelland of Sheffield were thrown out of the game. Then, with 39 seconds to go, Garth Premak scored for Nottingham to tie the match 3-3.
