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.

Frankie Dettori has been stood down for two days with mild concussion after taking a bang on the head in a fall at Epsom yesterday when unseated from Move With Edes before the Warren Stakes. He will have to pass a medical examination before racing at Sandown on Saturday if he is to take the ride on Benny The Dip in the Classic Trial.

Dettori had been taken behind the stalls on the Bill Turner-trained five- year-old when the gelding bolted and unshipped him after travelling for a furlong. He walked to an ambulance and returned to the weighing room with a cut on his forehead.

Kieren Fallon has chosen to ride the Fred Darling Stakes failure Sleepytime for Henry Cecil in the 1,000 Guineas on Sunday week instead of stablemates Yashmak or Reams Of Verse who will work together at Newbury this weekend.
