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.

RONNIE BEGGAN, the Irish-born jump jockey is to retire at the end of the season. Beggan, 31, has won over 400 winners in Britain and abroad including the 1991 Colonial Cup.

Dale McKeown, who had been attempting to revive his riding career in the United States, will be out of action for at least two months after breaking his shoulder and arm in a fall at Stoneybrook, North Carolina, on Saturday when his mount broke a leg. McKeown was thrown to the ground and galloped over by the rest of the field.
