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.

500g potatoes
½ tsp crushed chillies
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cooked lobster tails, meat removed from shell
1 celery stick, sliced
Handful parsley leaves, chopped
Juice half lemon
Iceberg lettuce, to serve
Bought mayonnaise, to serve
6 hot-dog rolls, to serve
For the relish
1 tbsp olive oil
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red chilli, seeded and chopped
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp sriracha sauce
Start by making the relish. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat then add the tomatoes and chilli, season with salt and toss over the heat until softened and slightly caramelised. Stir in the sugar, cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir through the sriracha sauce. Leave to cool.
For the chips, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas6. Cut the potatoes into large wedges. Place on a baking sheet and season with salt and crushed chillies. Drizzle with the oil. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, till golden. Leave to cool.
Slice the lobster meat and toss into a bowl with the celery, parsley and lemon juice. Season.
Pack the cooled chips, lobster mixture, relish and lettuce in separate, sealed containers. At the picnic, let people assemble their own hot-dog rolls, spreading them with mayo then filling with lettuce, the lobster and the relish. Enjoy with the oven chips.
