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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Unorthodox partnerships are not uncommon in the restaurant industry. However, the news that Britney Spears' ex, Kevin Federline, is supposedly going into partnership with Jamie Spears, the troubled singer's father and court-appointed custodian, on the takeover of a Los Angeles Mexican restaurant, Casa Cordobes, hints at the most bizarre hospitality union since Marco Pierre White and champion jockey Frankie Dettori said "I do".

Equally unconventional, but infinitely more appealing, is the latest from Manhattan chef-of-the-moment, David Chang. The young Korean-American has a third restaurant to add to his Lower East Side Momofuku empire. Momofuku Ko is waiter-free and consists of 14 stools at a counter, an expensive range and a couple of chefs turning out and serving tasting menus. Open for dinner from Wednesday to Monday, bookings can only be made online and are, predictably, oversubscribed.
