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.
Your support makes all the difference.Michael Whitaker, a master at tight turns into big fences, thrilled a packed stadium at Wembley last night to take the Leading Showjumper of the Year title, writes Mary Gordon Watson. Riding Everest Midnight Madness, he beat 15 others in the jump-off, finishing clear in 26.48 seconds. James Fisher on Bow River Queen so nearly made it a memorable double having won the Speed Horse of the Year in the afternoon on Tip Toe. He did well to finish second ahead of favourites Alison Bradley and John Whitaker.
