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.

One of the quickest from the tape, he settled behind the leaders and made his only error at Becher's second time. Going easily, he joined Moorcroft Boy in front at the second last, but was relegated to second at the last. Taking it up again at The Elbow, he won with a little to spare. Odds: 16-1
2 JUST SO
Among the back-markers for a circuit, he made rapid progress at the start of the second lap and soon joined the leading group. Outpaced between the last two obstacles, and six lengths off the lead at the last, he rallied and stayed on to the line. 20-1
