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.

"My goldfish (1) were a present from Ester, a PR, as she felt that I needed the feng shui. She also introduced me to walking on hot coals. We always have bottles of our favourite scent (2) so we can have a squirt of it if we're going out in the evening. We have lots of other things like hand cream (3), moisturisers and lipsticks which people come and borrow. Janine Labell [the brains behind Stila make-up] went shopping with me the other day for a piece on what she thought was the best of the high street. I took some quick snaps (4) while we were out. Estee Lauder have just sent me 32 lipsticks from their spring/summer collection (5). I'm just going through the transparencies (6) from the Paris and London fashion shows. I did a shoot in Paris where we photographed the contents of bags belonging to various famous make-up artists. It's going into the June issue and these are the Polaroids (7). I always have lots of things I've been sent that I have to try (8). The Champagne (9) was a thank-you from Givenchy. It's been sitting there for I don't know how long, waiting for a Friday night to be cracked open."
