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.

SAILING

The stop-start America's Cup was due to resume normal operation yesterday after big seas and storm warnings had disrupted an Easter Sunday which saw snow fall in southern California, writes Stuart Alexander from San Diego. Both John Bertrand's oneAustralia and Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes were determined to stay on the boil after their remarkable wins on Saturday; both Team New Zealand and America3 were determined to upset their plans.

As part of that, Cubed has taken advantage of defender rules allowing changes, with Mighty Mary given a better balanced rudder blade to improve what the skipper, Leslie Egnot, has described as "a beast" to steer.

The third defence syndicate, John Marshall and Kevin Mahaney's Pact '95, are still evaluating their winged rudder.
