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.

Lea Michele has shared an image of the tattoo she has had on her ribcage to honour her late Glee co-star, the actor Cory Monteith.

Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room in 2013 after a heroin and alcohol overdose, aged 31. He had been treated for substance abuse in rehab aged 19 and checked into rehab again in March 2013.

He played the role of quarterback Finn Hudson in Glee, who was in a relationship with Michele’s character Rachel Berry.

“And one more.. for my quarterback..,” she wrote alongside the post. The number 5 was on the back of Hudson’s football jersey in Glee.

Michele also added a small tattoo on her finger to honour her grandmother, who passed away this week.
