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.

Willie Carson rode five winners at Beverley yesterday at accumulated odds of 235-1. The 52-year-old five-times former champion showed that his skills remain as sharp as ever with victories on Stolen Kiss, Doug's Folly, Hakika, Thaljanah and Torch Vert.

The Scot reserved his best for Hakika, owned by his main retainer, Hamdan Al-Maktoum. Carson was due to ride Ahla for the same owner at Kempton last night, but gave up the ride to Russell Price. Ahla won easily at odds of 4-1.
