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.

Tony McCoy now needs just two more winners to beat Peter Scudamore's record of the fastest-ever century of National Hunt winners. The champion jockey reached the 98-winner mark for the season with a victory on Quini Eagle in Kempton's last race yesterday.

McCoy was last night considering an appeal against a three-day ban, imposed for whip abuse on Tuesday, which sidelines him for the Hennessy Gold Cup.
