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.

2001 Reynolds Little Boomey Chardonnay, Orange, £4.99, Sainsbury's
Inland from Sydney, the cool wine region of Orange is gaining a reputation for naturally refreshing wines with good intensity of flavour, like this well-balanced chardonnay from Reynolds, with its melon-like, dry fruitiness enhanced by a light touch of oak and grapefruit-zesty acidity. Try it with a Delia-style steamed trout with ginger.

1998 Para Hills Clare Valley Cabernet Malbec, £10, Marks & Spencer
This ink-dark, impressive blend of cabernet sauvignon and malbec, the hallmark of Leasingham Wines, is powerfully aromatic, with a touch of mint underlying the spice and cassis fruitiness. It's a typically bold, but not overpowering Clare Valley red, and good for spring lamb with rosemary.
