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.Viking Flagship got the better of old partner Adrian Maguire at Exeter yesterday. The 10-year-old won the Haldon Gold Cup Chase in the hands of Richard Johnson, beating by five lengths Maguire's mount Mulligan, the better fancied of the two stablemates.
David Nicholson, who trains both, said later: "Adrian did not pick to ride Mulligan - I told him to. I wanted him on Mulligan as it was important to get him jumping as he'd been on the floor on his final two runs last year."
