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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Your support makes all the difference.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nRead more<\/span><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nEllen DeGeneres has shared a rare glimpse of her and her wife, Portia de Rossi\u2019s, property in the UK. <\/p>\n

DeGeneres\u2019s clip begins with her driving on the bright yellow mower across a flat patch of land. \u201cHow it started,\u201d she wrote in the text over the video.<\/p>\n
The next clip showed DeGeneres getting stuck and having to get pushed up a hill by an unidentified man. \u201cHow it ended,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
DeGeneres, who announced her retirement during her Ellen\u2019s Last Stand\u2026 Up<\/em> tour last year, captioned the post: \u201cPortia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
