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.This year's Cheltenham Festival is full of horses with brilliant names.
Among the runners today are Germany Calling, Vino Griego and Shakalakaboomboom.
Others that tickled those on The Independent's sportsdesk were My Tent Or Yours, Top Totti and King Vevuzela.
With so many racehorses, owners often have to get inventive when thinking up a name. They can end up contradictory (Oh So Slow), baffling (DoReMiFaSaLaTiDo) or outright hilarious (Whykickamoocow).
