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 has posted a rare video of her adopted son David, 16, and daughter Estere, nine, dancing in the kitchen of her family home.

In the clip, posted on Instagram, the pair can be seen dancing to the song “Melanin” by Sauti Sol feat. Patoranking.

At the end of the video, David approaches the camera, saying: “Hey M gang, David here. Hope you guys have a great Sunday. Love you guys.”

As the camera pans around the room and the dining table, he adds: “This is the fam. Got the M-Dog [Madonna] at the head of the seat. Got Mercy James trying to avoid the camera… get her, corner her. Estere Mwale, Stella Mwale and yours truly, David.”

Madonna wrote in the caption: “Cooking in the kitchen #davidbanda #estere #sautisol.”

Rapper Princess Nokia and actor and model Julia Fox posted love-hearts in the comments section, while one fan wrote: “Your children are free and fantastic, Madonna. It’s the sign of a great Mom.”

In 2006, Madonna and her then-husband Guy Ritchie travelled to Malawi to adopt David.

When he joined the family, Madonna already had two children: Lourdes and Rocco, who are now 25 and 21.

She later adopted Mercy, who is now 16, and twins Estere and Stella.
