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.

ANTE-POST punters were warned yesterday that Sheltering Sky is not certain to run in next month's Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot.

The John Dunlop-trained colt, entered at Lingfield on Saturday, headed bookmakers' opening show of betting on the Royal Ascot sprint after he was handed 9st 5lb when the weights were published yesterday.

He caught the eye when an unlucky-in-running second to World Premier at York a fortnight ago but Dunlop's racing secretary Marcus Hosgood said: "He is not a certain runner."
