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.

Whether you love or hate them, rich people can be fascinating to watch.

London's rich kids use £50 notes to clean their shoes ...

... and to blow their noses.

This guy likes to make it rain as he listens to opera, then casually floats on his hoverboard.

Rich kids don't freak out when their receipt from the bar looks like this.

Taking a bath is expensive and uncomfortable.

They wear posh slippers to match the decor of their home.

They have no problem finding their Lamborghini after a night at the club.

When you're rich, your first car isn't a Peugeot.

Zipping around London in a Bugatti isn't a big deal ...

... and parking in London is no longer a problem.

Being rich means driving a Bentley that matches your jewelery.

They really love their cars ...

... and their private jets.

Especially this guy.

They shop at places like Dolce & Gabbana ...

... but they're terrified of Primark.
