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.BECOMING the first horse to win the Irish St Leger twice may not be the most noteworthy achievement of Vintage Crop's career - the race has, after all, been open to older horses for only a few years - but his next race could secure statues in two hemispheres.
Dermot Weld's seven-year- old went into quarantine yesterday prior to his trip to Australia to defend the Melbourne Cup. His performance on Saturday showed that his ability is undiminished. Weld should again have him at his peak on the first Tuesday in November.
