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.The Kardashian family have announced they have suspended all activity on their personal, paid-for apps while they support Lamar Odom, who is fighting for his life after being found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel.
Earlier this year the extended Kardashian-Jenner family - Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie - launched their own apps giving an exclusive look into their lives, focusing on music, style, beauty and fitness.
“As a family, we’ve decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar,” the family said in a statement.
“Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time.”
Each sister’s app has a seven day free trial, which then costs $2.99 (£1.95) a month. Each member of the reality TV family posts pictures, blogs, and live-streams focusing on what they get up to when the cameras aren’t rolling on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Odom married Khloe Kardashian in 2009 after a brief courtship, marrying her in a ceremony that was televised on the E! cable network. They divorced four years later, but due to a backlog in Los Angeles courts, the divorce has not been finalised.
As a result, she is in charge of making medical decisions while Odom is on life support.
“I will never, ever not love Lamar. I was so obsessed with him in a healthy way. He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.“
