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.

GREEK DANCE, a disappointing fifth when a leading fancy for Saturday's Derby, suffered an injury during the race it emerged yesterday.

"Greek Dance came out of the Derby lame on his left-hind limb," Michael Stoute, his trainer, said. "A thorough examination is being carried out and a further statement will be issued when this has been concluded."

The colt, who started at 5-1, had won impressively at Newmarket and York prior to Epsom.

Adrian Maguire, whose winning comeback from injury at Newton Abbot on Saturday was spoilt when he was suspended for 10 days for causing intentional interference, has decided to appeal against the decision.

There is only one race meeting in Britain today after the card scheduled for Redcar was abandoned due to waterlogging .
