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.The actor Gerard Depardieu is reported as saying he is turning in his passport after insults from the Socialist Prime Minister for taking up residence in Belgium for tax reasons.
Le Journal du Dimanche, a Sunday newspaper, published an open letter attributed to Depardieu in which the actor chides the Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, for calling him "pathetic" last week for moving to Belgium to escape French taxes.
"I leave after paying 85 per cent of my revenue in 2012," the letter says. "I turn in to you my passport and social security card which I have never used."
Depardieu, 64, has made more than 100 films.
