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.

The rider Tony Culhane was injured in an accident on Costa Verde in the Gods Solution Handicap at Catterick yesterday.

The 25-year-old suffered concussion and minor lacerations when the filly stumbled about a furlong and a half out while racing among the backmarkers.

Culhane was taken to the nearby Duchess of Kent Military Hospital for treatment.

Jason Weaver, who is preceded only by Lanfranco Dettori in the Flat jockeys' championship, was lucky to escape serious injury when Longcroft reared over in the paddock and unseated him before the Toytop Conditions Stakes. Weaver banged a knee but was otherwise unhurt.
