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.

A weekly list of horses to follow

PASHTO: moved up smoothly to challenge the leaders on the turn into the straight at Uttoxeter on Saturday but was outpaced over the final two flights, eventually taking only third place behind Montagnard. The ground was too lively for him there and if testing conditions return before the end of the season this six-year-old would prove hard to beat in the right company. (N Henderson)

RUTLAND GATE: another whose yard will be hoping for softer going before the start of summer. Backed down to as short as 8-1 for the Festival bumper race at Cheltenham last week, this New Zealand-bred was going well alongside the leaders three flights from the finish before dropping back to be eighth of the 24 runners. A highly promising performance. (Mrs J Renfree-Barons)
