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.Mark Rimmer returned home from hospital yesterday and admitted he "can't remember much" about his horrific fall at Warwick. But he revealed that he suffered no worse than bruising in yesterday's three-horse pile- up and is looking forward to a return to race-riding.
"I can't remember much about the fall," Rimmer said after arriving at his Newmarket home yesterday afternoon. "The horse just went from under me and that was that. I'm badly bruised but thankfully I am in one piece."
Rimmer, who will talk to Dr Michael Turner this morning about his return, added: "I would like to thank everyone for their kind messages of support."
There had been fears that the jockey had suffered serious injury as he crashed to the ground from the fatally-injured Irish Fiction at Warwick. Although detained overnight in South Warwickshire Hospital, he was released this morning.
