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.

NOT ALL the singing at Royal Ascot is rowdy. Jinny, the jolly wife of Clerk of the Course Sir Nicholas Beaumont, ascends to the bandstand at the end of each day's racing and leads the crowd in community singing of such ditties as 'Rule Britannia' and 'Hello Dolly'. This week Sir Nicholas retired after 30 years at Ascot. He will be hard to replace, as will Lady Beaumont's voice.
