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.

Cornwall Grand Prix
Falmouth
The inaugural Cornwall Grand Prix at Falmouth on Sunday is the third round of the United Kingdom Offshore Championships. The Texan Charles Burnett leads the mighty Class II and will be racing in his 36ft monohull, Buzzi Buzzard, a monster capable of 100mph. He will, however, have more competition this time as three new Class II boats make their debut. The race starts at 1pm off Pendennis Point, lasting 21/2 hours.
Where to watch: Spectators will have a good view from Pendennis Point, Castle Drive and Cliff Road, Falmouth. There will be a full commentary throughout the race. The powerboats are expected to arrive in Falmouth today and will be on display on Killigrew Quay at Port Pendennis Harbour Village. Tomorrow at 4.30pm, there will be a parade of the boats through the Moor and the High Street.
