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.

A word with the winning trainer Lucinda Russell:

What a day! We have a fantastic team behind us and I'm just so pleased.

He's amazing. He's improved very time. I kept thinking barring accidents, he would win the National and he has!

Together (Peter and I) we have had good and bad times but the horses are all back in form now.

It's brilliant for Scotland. I said it's for Scotland, but it's really for the team and the yard.

It's out of this world.
