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.

Just 12 minutes to the Adonis at Kempton. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Tritonic can do here. He's a 1.94 chance on Betfair.
Result: 2.05 Lingfield
1. Lord Riddiford 9-2
2. Moss Gill 6-4 Fav
7 ran.
They went a proper pace here (around 42mph), with Lord Riddiford just holding on from favourite Moss Gill. Blue De Vega ran on very nicely into third.
Paul Nicholls said of the winner to Racing TV: “This opens up new options for us as he stayed the trip. Those good two-and-a-half mile races are open to him. He’s a progressive young horse.”
We’ve Listed combat in Lingfield coming up at 2:05. Rocket Action looks quite interesting but the price has contracted and stablemate Blue De Vega three places at 4.3 is preferred.
Result: 1:50 Kempton
1. Tamaroc Du Mathan evs Fav
2. GA Law
4 ran.
That was a cracking race to watch. GA Law made it a good test but did tend to jump a bit to his left. Tamaroc Du Mathan cruised to the front two out and was brilliant at the last.
Just under half an hour to the first televised race at Kempton. Punters expect Tamorac Du Mathan (1.88) or GA Law (2.86) to win a fascinating novice chase. GA Law looks the value as he is proven stamina-wise and can make all.
Gunsight Ridge is pretty hot favourite for the first at Kempton (1:15). Tamaroc Du Mathan is 1.83 (5-6) for the first of the graded races.
