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.

4 big handfuls of broad beans
120g Pecorino cheese, finely grated
4 handfuls of mixed leaves
House vinaigrette
For the chips:
100g of Pecorino, finely grated
50g Parmesan, finely grated
50g flour
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, put in the broad beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, then drain and refresh under ice-water. Peel off the outer skins of the beans. If the beans differ strongly in sizes, cook them separately according to the size.
To make the chips, mix the flour with the Parmesan and the Pecorino. Heat a couple of small non-stick pans and sprinkle a thin layer of the mixture all over the pan. Let it cook until it starts to turn golden. Turn the chips over and let them colour on the other side. Keep separate.
Season the broad beans, dress with house vinaigrette and add pecorino cheese. Lay the broad beans flat in the centre of the plate. Dress the mixed leaves and put on top of the broad beans. Top with a pecorino chip on top.
