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.

3 pomegranates
400g feta cheese in 1cm dice
3 handfuls of flat-leaf
parsley leaves
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
black pepper
Heat the oven to 170C fan oven/180C or 350F electric oven/Gas 4. Lay the hazelnuts in a single layer on a small baking tray and toast for 10 minutes until golden. Remove and leave them to cool. Halve the pomegranates, and by gently pressing the outside of the skin pop the seeds into a bowl, discarding any white membranes.
Add the feta cheese, the hazelnuts and parsley to the pomegranate seeds. Pour over the olive oil and lemon juice, and add a grinding of black pepper. Very gently toss to combine the ingredients. You can prepare the salad a couple of hours in advance of eating.
