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.

Some Picture posted the fastest-ever time in a Wimbledon Derby final when beating He Knows by six lengths in the feature event on Saturday night.

Some Picture, prepared by Charlie Lister, took control at the second bend and it was no contest from there. The brilliant black, an 8-13 chance, pulled further clear with every stride to win in 28.23sec.

His owner, Steve Spiteri, said: "We're going next for the Irish Derby. He's already won the Scottish and English Derbys. Now let's make it three."
