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.

The actress Kim Basinger, who was recently ordered to pay a production company nearly dollars 7.4m after backing out of a film, has filed for bankruptcy, Reuter reports from Los Angeles.

Her attorney, Howard Weitzman, said the action was intended to allow Basinger to appeal against the award against her. Had she not filed, she would have had to post an dollars 11.1m bond, Weitzman said. Basinger lost her case against Main Line Pictures, who sued her for breach of contract over the film Boxing Helena. The jury awarded the film-makers dollars 8.9m, reduced by the judge to dollars 7.4m.
