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.

Here she reveals some of her lifestyle secrets.
How do you stay in shape?
I like to do a mixture of exercise. I’m really into weight training, which is quite a slow process. There’s a real sense of achievement when you can lift more than you could before. The health benefits are amazing and I am trying to improve my posture. I like spinning, pilates and yoga too.
How would you describe your interior design style?
I like a mix of old and new. In our house we’ve restored a lot of the old features such as the cornicing and we’ve restored the doors and fireplace. We’ve also got a modern extension. There’s a lot of monochrome and loads of different shades of grey.
You are a big foodie – what is your favourite thing to cook?
Me and Stephen [Millie’s husband, rapper Professor Green] quite like a roast on a Sunday. I slow roast meat – it cooks itself and you can get on and do something else. There’s this amazing Nigella recipe; pork belly marinated in tahini, soy, lemon and lime juice overnight. It’s so good with truffle mash.
What spring trends are you looking forward to sporting?
I’ve got my new collection coming out and it’s got a bohemian feel. I’ve always had a thing for tassels. I love the 70s look – flared trousers, floppy hats.
Which pampering products do you recommend?
I’m really loving this Kiehl’s body butter called Whipped. The texture is amazing and it smells really edible. I’m using their Midnight Recovery Concentrate, which is an oil that I put on my skin overnight.
