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.

GENERAL WOLFE has run his last race. The Venetia Williams-trained 10-year-old, winner of the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock for the last two seasons, has been retired after suffering a setback.

He was owned by The Winning Line, whose spokesman said: "Venetia Williams informs us the General has a slightly inflamed tendon and would need to miss this season. Bearing in mind his age and handicap mark we felt that he should be retired."
