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.

ADRIAN MAGUIRE and Dermot Weld yesterday teamed up to take the pounds 40,000 Galway Plate, one of the centrepieces of the week-long festival at the West of Ireland course. The Curragh trainer's General Idea became the first horse to defy 12st in the race for 20 years when guided by Maguire to an impressive and popular victory as the 9-2 favourite. The lone British raider, Castle King, from Peter Hedger's yard, was unplaced.
