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.

Shane Breen must have shortened his odds for Sunday's DFS Derby when he rode Dorada to victory on yesterday's opening day of the British Jumping Derby Meeting.

Breen won the Bunn Leisure Derby Tankard by a whisker from David McPherson on Naomi 241, with Anthony Condon third on Micky Finn. Geoff Luckett won the earlier Silver Salver on Little Lefanie, who was last to go when defeating long-time leader, Jo Pay on Gold, by a cool 2.09sec.
