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.

Yorkshire trainer Martyn Wane's bid to win three races in three days with Swan At Whalley came unstuck at Catterick yesterday when the horse refused to enter the stalls and was withdrawn from the Dragon Troop Handicap.

Furthermore Swan At Whalley, successful at Musselburgh 24 hours earlier, will not now be able to run at Ayr this evening because he first has to pass a stalls test. "I just can't win," exclaimed Wane.
