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.

Lenny Kravitz may be a wealthy world-famous four-time Grammy Award winner. This does not, however, grant immunity from dealing with the tedium of over-flowing toilets.

Lenny Kravitz may be a wealthy world-famous four-time Grammy Award winner. This does not, however, grant immunity from dealing with the tedium of over-flowing toilets.

Yesterday, a lawsuit was filed against Mr Kravitz seeking $333,850 (£182,000) amid claims that he let his toilet overflow into his neighbour's apartment. The flood in the singer's luxury Manhattan condominium, allegedly caused "catastrophic water damage" to the flat below in August this year.

The insurance company claims that Mr Kravitz's toilet "became blocked, clogged and congested with various materials" and the ensuing flooding was due to his "negligence and carelessness".

The apartment is in New York's SoHo district and is also home to his fellow rock star Courtney Love. The duplex, which he bought four years ago for $8m reportedly has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

The singer could not be reached for comment.
