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.

Cayenne 7 Ascot House, Shaftesbury Square, Belfast, tel: 02890 331 532 The latest peppery offering from Ireland's favourite Ready Steady Cooker, Paul Rankin. Relaxed, designery and buzzy, Cayenne bills itself as Modern Irish with ethnic and Asian influences. Sounds like five-ingredients-in-a-bag to me, but it's as good a way as any to sum up a menu that runs from Finnebrogue venison Bolognese and Thai beef salad, to Moroccan spiced lamb, Japanese miso chicken and Irish cheese and biscuits.
Notting Grill 123A Clarendon Road, London W11, tel: 020 7229 1500 First came the Great Fire in 1666, then the Great Steakhouse Phenomenon in early 2002. Antony Worrall Thompson was one of several London restaurateurs who caught the bug for chargrilled meat. He promptly turned wot woz Wiz into Notting Grill, featuring steak from a different pure breedevery month. "Well bred, well fed and well hung" is the typically modest motto.
City Rhodes 1 New Street Square, London EC4, tel: 020 7583 1313 Rhodes is the anti-Sampson – the shorter his hair is cut, the better he gets. He's also the cook's cook, able to cut an onion while staring sincerely at the camera and running four successful restaurants (this plus Rhodes in the Square and Rhodes & Co brasseries in Manchester and Gatwick). This cool, confident City Rhodes is typical of his cleverly commercial style, with its classy Modern British cooking.
