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.Surely this year is your lucky year when it comes to the Grand National?
Luck has never seemed so simple after a couple from Scunthorpe, David and Kathleen Long, won £1m in the EuroMillions draw last week - the second time they won the jackpot in two years.
Therefore, come this Saturday at 4:15pm, it will be well worth a flutter on one of the 40 runners taking part in the Grand National at Aintree.
The odds are still as difficult as ever however: in the 68 races of the post-war era, only nine favourite or joint favourite horses have won the race.
To help you decide, The Independent's Kevin Garside provides some sound advice on picking your own favourite.
