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.

Opened with amid much fanfare in 2001, Tony Singh's magnificent restaurant and bar, located on the rooftop of an office block, is currently the hippest place to eat and drink in Edinburgh. There's a flat-screen video by the entrance, leading up to the restaurant proper on the fourth floor, and which has wonderful views of the city. There's also a stylish bar offering cocktails and snacks, such as Alsatian tart and Highland beef burgers. The adjoining restaurant has a changing menu full of Pacific Rim flavours and ingredients. Starters may include sweet potato and lime leaf soup, or lentil and chorizo soup with sweetcorn bhaji. Mains include rabbit with gruyere and mustard penne, peas, asparagus, spring onions and red wine jus, or one of the interesting vegetarian options such as fried blue cheese and onion sandwich with pickled vegetable salad, asparagus and red chilli hollandaise. The desserts are imaginative, with chocolate and prune terrine with cassis sorbet and candied ugli fruit, sitting alongside champagne and watermelon jelly with marmalade and rosewater ice cream. Modish ingredients such as lavender, Asian pesto, parmesan oil, lentil jus, cavolo nero and seared marlin litter a mouth-watering menu that's full of colour and panache.
