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.DARRYLL HOLLAND was suspended for five days, from 14 to 19 October, for irresponsible riding at Pontefract yesterday and will miss all of the Cesarewitch meeting at Newmarket, including the ride on Etterby Park in the big race.
Holland's mount, Contrary Mary, won the claiming race from Stone Of Destiny, but at an inquiry the stewards found that the filly had interfered with Snappy Times soon after the start. As they decided that the incident was a result of irresponsible riding, Contrary Mary was placed last.
