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.

Details 436 came from Stubbs' Racehorses belonging to the Duke of Richmond Exercising at Goodwood (1760-1). It's odd that Stubbs, who knew so much about horses, didn't know how their legs galloped, but maintained the traditional rocking-horse convention - as did nearly every artist, until rapid-exposure photography exposed the truth. But the convention is maybe not so much a factual mistake as a device, which has its own truth to motion, as this image in particular shows. Its ducks-up-the-wall trio of horsemen captures, not the look, but the bounding rhythm of a hard ride. The picture is in Goodwood House.The first three correct entries came from: A Falby-Clark, London N4; J Barker, Dorset; K Baclawski, Swansea
