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.

Adele has filed for divorce from her husband after three years of marriage, according to legal documents.

The award-winning singer, who gave birth to their son Angelo in 2012, married charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki in a secret ceremony in 2016 after five years of dating.

Adele confirmed their marriage during her acceptance speech at the 2017 Grammys after thanking her “husband”.

Back in April, her representatives said that despite separating the pair were “committed to raising their son together lovingly” and asked for privacy.

Award-winning singer Adele’s albums include the chart-toppers 19, 21 and 25. The latter became the best-selling album of 2015.

In March, Adele made headlines after going on a night out in New York with Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence.

She was also pictured entering a recording studio in New York City, sparking rumours she was working on new music.

Her singles include ”Someone Like You”, “Rolling In The Deep” and “Rumour Has It”.
