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.

A weekly list of horses to follow: BEGGARS BANQUET: promising debut second to the well-regarded bumper winner Tom Brodie at Edinburgh on Tuesday. Sent off at 33-1 but was the only rival to make a race of it with the first and should be capable of winningin similar company. (P Beaumont)

LEGAL FICTION: beat some useful all-weather handicappers decisively at Wolverhampton on Wednesday to gain his second success in as many outings on the artifical surfaces. His stable excels at conjuring multiple wins from its inmates and this could develop into another example. (M Johnston)

TRONCHETTO: displayed considerable battling qualities when overcoming Trump and several other recent winners at Edinburgh on Tuesday. Has looked an improved performer this season and looks able to defy a further rise in the weights for this success. (J JO'Neill)
