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.A record number of yachts were docking in Tarbert yesterday for the Rover Series, the biggest of the annual Scottish regattas. The first was held in July 1974 at the Crinan / Tobermory access, attracting some 35 yachts. This year 278 are on Loch Fyne, home of the regatta since 1976. All race for four days over Olympic and coastal courses, with the most outstanding in any one class being named the overall winner.
