Racing: Beasley's double aim
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.

'It is raining hard here at the moment and we could do with a drop or two just to ease the ground down at Goodwood, but it has been well-watered and we can have no complaints on that score.' Mistertopogigo is generally a 14-1 chance for the Stewards' Cup, with Poker Chip a best- priced 10-1 favourite.
Jawaal, who landed a string of big bets when winning the apprentices' handicap at Ascot on Friday by five lengths, has been heavily backed for Goodwood's Golden Mile.
Jawaal, who looks a blot on the handicap, will get a run in Thursday's race because only 29 were left in at the five-day stage at the weekend.
Bobzao could finish only sixth behind locally-trained Sternkonig in a Group One race at Dusseldorf yesterday.
