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.

Saturday's impressive Hennessy Gold Cup winner Trabolgan is reported to have come out of the race well and is on course for the King George VI Chase at Sandown on Boxing Day.

Nicky Henderson, his trainer, said: "I've never won the King George, but it's the natural race for him."

Trabolgan is now down to 11-2 with Coral for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Spokesman Simon Clare said: "This is the biggest ante-post gamble of the jump season so far and as soon as we offered 8-1 the floodgates opened."

* Ruby Walsh dislocated a shoulder in a fall at Navan yesterday and was taken to hospital for X-rays.
