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.

While stars such as Rihanna are known for splashing out on lavish holidays, developing their extensive property portfolios and building wardrobes most could only dream of, Margot Robbie is on the much more frugal end of the spectrum when it comes to how she spends her wealth.

The Tarzan actress, 25, has revealed she shares a flat in Clapham with four other people as part of her wide-ranging cost-cutting measures.

“I don’t spend much money at all,” she told News.com.au "It actually makes me really anxious, just the idea of it. It seems crazy to spend a huge amount of money on things you don’t need."

Robbie said she saved her wages from her three-year stint on Neighbours to pay for her move to the US and acting classes.

Her current living situation is actually Robbie’s idea of “downsizing”, she explained. “Until recently we were living with seven others.”
