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.ATTEMPTS by Nance Frank, the former skipper of US Women's Challenge, to initiate formal proceedings and charges against Ross Field, the skipper of the leading yacht Yamaha, for cheating were blocked by the international jury yesterday. They decided that the allegations of passing weather information between Frank's navigator, Adrienne Cahalan, and her boyfriend Field could not be heard under the rules and that their action did not qualify as a gross breach of sportsmanship. 'The rules do not allow the jury to act further in this matter,' the chairman Staveley Roberts said.
