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.THE AMATEUR rider Nathan Rossiter was last night reported to have regained consciousness after a fall from Hever Golf Charmer in the opening hurdle race at Fontwell which had knocked him out for several hours.
Rossiter, 25, who has had only about a dozen rides and no winners in the last three seasons, lay on the turf after his mount fell at the second- last flight in the race won by Auburn Boy. He was taken away by ambulance to the intensive care unit of St Richards Hospital, Chichester.
A spokesman for the hospital said: "He was brought in unconscious and has had CT [computerised tomography] scans on his head and abdomen."
