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.CARVILL'S HILL was yesterday pulled out of the Welsh National on 28 December and will not now been be seen on a racecourse until the New Year. 'The horse will not be ready in time for Chepstow,' a statement from Martin Pipe's stable said.
The gelding, who will be 12 on 1 January, has been sidelined since sustaining an injury in the 1992 Gold Cup. Carvill's Hill has also missed possible engagements in the Hennessy Gold Cup and last Saturday's Rehearsal Chase.
But the Pipe stable insisted yesterday that there was nothing amiss with the horse, a brilliant winner of the Welsh National two years ago.
