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.

This makes a great starter that’s bursting with flavour and nutrition. It looks pretty funky too. Use two small ring moulds (about 7cm in diameter and 3.5cm deep) that come with a handy pusher to compact the ingredients and create a uniformly neat stack on each plate.
Serves 2
Prep: 15 mins
2 avocados, stoned, peeled and diced
200g smoked salmon, chopped
1 tbsp mayonnaise
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tsp wasabi paste
2 coriander sprigs, to garnish
Mix all the ingredients (except the garnish) together in a bowl until they are well combined.
Place a small ring mould on each serving plate. Divide the mixture between the 2 rings and use the pusher that comes with the moulds to press the ingredients down into the mould and compact them well. Lift off each ring in turn to reveal the moulded stack.
Garnish each stack with a coriander sprig.
Nutrition nugget
The wasabi root, which belongs to the same plant family as horseradish and is sometimes called Japanese horseradish, was traditionally used medicinally to clear a chesty cough and act as a decongestant.
