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.THE LAST of our corn recipes, for sweetcorn waffles with chilli butter, comes from Linda Moss of Chatham, Kent. She found it in a book called The Flavour of California by Marlena Spieler. It calls for chilli powder, but if you have fresh chillies, do (judiciously) use them instead.
Ms Moss will receive a bottle of Maker's Mark sourmash bourbon made in Loretto, Kentucky.
