Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Madonna made people up and down the country wince as she was accidentally dragged down a flight of stairs by her cloak at last week's BRIT Awards.
"Madonna, as we know, is very difficult," the designer told Associated Press.
"This cape had a hook and she wanted a tie, and she wasn't able to open it with her hands. That's all there is to it."
Madonna sustained whiplash after the fall. "My two lovely Japanese dancers, they basically strangled me off the stage. I had two choices, I could either be strangled or fall, and I chose to fall," she told Jonathan Ross the day after.
