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.

Madonna is offering five of her biggest admirers a Valentine’s Day gift – the chance to 'date her' on Grindr.

The Queen of Pop is using the gay dating app as a platform for a new competition.

Fans have been instructed to recreate her album cover for Rebel Heart with them as the gagged star, and upload it as their Grindr profile picture alongside the hashtag #LivingForLove.

The deadline for entering a photograph is 11:59PM PST February 14th, 2015.

As well as being able to speak to the star, they will also receive a signed copy of the album.

She’s currently riding high in download charts across the world after releasing a further three new tracks today.

Madonna was forced to put out a number of her songs in December after 11 unfinished tracks appeared online.

In the deleted Instagram post, Madonna wrote: “This is artistic rape!! These are early leaked demos, half of which won’t make it on my album. The other half have changed and evolved.

“This is a form of terrorism. Wtf!!!! Why do people want to destroy artistic process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?”

Her comments drew criticism from followers on social media, for appearing to trivialise sexual violence.
