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.

David Nicholson, can head off for a two-week safari in Zambia next week a happy man after passing the pounds 1m mark in prize-money won for the season at Stratford yesterday evening.

After Formal Invitation beat Bayline Star in the novices' chase, Nicholson said: "I'm just the front man. There are 40 of us at Jackdaws Castle, with 30 here tonight and 10 at Aintree.

"We said in October the aim was for pounds 1m and 100 winners. We've 96 winners so far and if the rain keeps falling the century should come."

David Loder's Abou Zouz is likely to make his reappearance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh a week tomorrow after pleasing his connections in a gallop after racing at Newmarket yesterday.
