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.

Clive Brittain sends the globe-trotting Needle Gun to Rome on Sunday for his third crack at the Premio Presidente della Repubblica. Brett Doyle's mount, second in the Group One contest in 1994 and last year, is out to make the most of the defection of Geoff Wragg's Sasuru. A field of eight go to post for the mile-and-a-quarter event, with Group- winning pair Taxi De Nuit (Michael Hills) and Grey Way the main home-trained dangers.

Ray Cochrane has been booked to ride useful German performer Artan. Brittain also runs the Diadem Stakes fourth Sylva Paradise in the Group Three Premio Melton over six furlongs on the same card.
