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.Aidan O'Brien expects his top two-year-old King Of Kings to make a full recovery after the son of Sadler's Wells underwent a minor operation to remove a chip from his off-fore knee.
The problem came to light after the leading 2,000 Guineas fancy, winner of Sunday's National Stakes at the Curragh, was found to be slightly stiff after light exercise on Tuesday.
The colt has drifted from 8-1 to 10-1 in Coral's Guineas market, although Simon Clare, the firm's spokesman, said that the move had nothing to do with the surgery but was because of weight of money for his stablemate Second Empire, winner of the Prix des Chenes 13 days ago. Second Empire was cut from 8-1 to 7-1 joint-favourite with Daggers Drawn for the Classic.
