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.

Jodie Foster celebrated her Golden Globes win in style, wearing matching pyjamas made out of the same fabric as her pet dog’s neck tie.

The star, who scored the Best Supporting Actress prize for her role as a tenacious lawyer in The Mauritanian, appeared taken aback by the win as she cuddled her pet and kissed her wife, Alexandra Hedison, on the sofa.

She said: “Oh my god, are you kidding me? I think you made a mistake. I’m a little speechless, I just never expected to be here again.”

Hedison also donned nightwear, opting for black pyjamas with a cream trim.

During her final round of thanks, Foster included a surprising name – that of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers.

She said: “I love my wife, thank you Alex, and Ziggy [the dog], and Aaron Rodgers and you know, the Hollywood Foreign Press. This is awesome!”

Foster is a huge fan of the Packers and Rodgers had previously mentioned her in a speech last month.

The NFL star is engaged to actress Shailene Woodley, with whom Foster stars in The Mauritanian.
