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.In the fallout from the Cannes Film Festival, the tabloids have been full to bursting with ample photographs of Pamela Anderson. But what appears to have been overlooked is the much more shocking sartorial statement of Emma Thompson.
Ms Thompson, you may recall, once collected an Oscar while resembling a seaslug in a sludgy green sequinned ensemble by Caroline Charles. Since then she has taken no chances on the glamour stakes, usually opting for a little black something or other from Armani and Valentino ... until Cannes.
For Ms Thompson dared to turn up to the premiere of Carrington, the movie in which she stars, in the kind of attire one would expect for a hot evening in the south of France - low-slung, slinky jacket, a pair of jeans and open-toe sandals. "We thought she might get some flak, but it appears to have gone unnoticed," said a Carrington insider. Ah, but not by the Independent, which applauds Ms Thompson's sound sense and wishes to let her know she looked a good deal more chic than Ms Anderson.
