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.

John Maxse, the Club's spokesman, said: "As far as we are concerned he has served his punishment. I don't think there is a suggestion he's not going to get his licence back, but in view of the manner in which he had to give his licence up the licensing committee felt it was right to see him again before formally reissuing his licence."
Results of counter-analyses taken from a number of horses, including the Hennessy Gold Cup winner Be My Royal, who have tested positive to morphine, are expected soon. In the past two months 28 horses have screened positive to the prohibited substance, the source of which is contaminated feed.
