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.

SIMPLY DASHING has met with a setback and may miss the Cheltenham Gold Cup. "He slipped on some ice," Peter Easterby, father of the trainer, Tim, said yesterday. "He didn't come down but he pulled a muscle in his quarters. He must be just 50-50 to get to Cheltenham. He's none the worse so he'll have an easy week."

Nick Dundee, the Royal & SunAlliance (Novices') Chase favourite, regarded as many as the Irish banker of the Cheltenham Festival next month, might be switched to the Gold Cup. Coral quote Nick Dundee, who is trained by Eddie O'Grady and owned by Sue and John Magnier, at 10-1 with a run, or 25-1 all in run or not.
