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.

THREE trainers were fined by the disciplinary committee of the Jockey Club yesterday after post-race drug tests on their horses proved positive. Jimmy FitzGerald was penalised pounds 400 as the sample taken from his Bold Pursuit after winning at Southwell in May was found to contain isoxsuprine, which was being administered to another horse in the yard.

Mick Ryan's fine of pounds 350 was due to Saffron Lord testing positive for trimethoprin after a hunter chase at Ludlow and Giles Bravery was fined pounds 500 as his mare Royal Flamingo tested positive for 4-hydroxypropranolol after finishing second at Hexham.
