Your support helps us to tell the story

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 United States beat Russia 3-1 in the World Championship quarter- finals in Bolzano, Italy, yesterday, but then had one of their players, Bill Lindsay, ejected from the tournament for failing a dope test. Lindsay, who plays for the Florida Panthers, tested positive for ephedrine after the match against Finland on 2 May, which the Finns won 7-2. The International Ice Hockey Federation said the scoreline would be adjusted to 7- 0 and Lindsay would be banned from all international tournaments until the end of this year.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS (Bolzano, It) Quarter-finals: United States 3 Russia 1; Sweden 7 Italy 2.

NHL Stanley Cup play-offs: Eastern Conference semi-finals: NY Rangers 5 Washington 2 (New York lead best-of-seven series 2-0); New Jersey 5 Boston 6 (Boston lead series 2-0).
