THE SATURDAY STATS
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 WEEK'S WINNERS Jockey: Claire West, who was unseated when Captain Carat tried to duck under the stalls before the Pontefract Apprentice Series (Round 1) Handicap at Pontefract on Tuesday.

In the race, she produced Captain Carat, who has to be held up for a late effort, with a lovely run on the far rails to lead close home.

Horse: Master Charter, who was last turning for home in the Pontefract Park Handicap at Pontefract last Tuesday but made up ten lengths in the last furlong to win by an easy two lengths. He is now 6-1 favourite for Wednesday's Victoria Cup at Ascot
