Racing: Penza less pensive
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.

The 22-year-old, who had been in and out of the sauna for two days getting down to 7st 7lb, has fallen foul of the authorities over his use of the whip - he starts a four-day ban on Monday - but it was John Williams who transgressed the rules yesterday.
After getting Bookcase home by the shortest of short heads from Bigwheel Bill, he too picked up a four-day suspension. The stewards ruled that he had used the stick excessively and incorrectly in hitting Bookcase down the shoulder.
Sharon Millard, another 22- year-old, notched her first win on Albert in the Florence Nagle Girl Apprentices Handicap.
