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 42-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of Brunico, a leading point-to-pointer who suffered a savage attack last week. Detectives were yesterday questioning a man in Staffordshire about the death of the 12-year-old grey, found with severe head and leg injuries at a farm in Dyfed.

Brunico, who finished second in the 1986 Triumph Hurdle and won the Group Three Ormonde Stakes when trained by Rod Simpson, won 12 consecutive point-to- points in 1992 for owner Michael Morris and trainer Peter Bowen, who lives a mile from the scene of the attack.
