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.

Quickly prepared, requiring only those supporting ingredients any Andaluz housewife keeps in the cupboard. Kidneys - veal, lamb or pork - sliced and soaked in a little vinegared water first, can be given the same treatment."

350g chicken livers
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 heaped tbsp chopped parsley
1 wineglass dry sherry (fino or manzanilla)
Salt and pepper
Trim and roughly chop the chicken livers, removing any little green streaks which taste bitter. Heat the oil in a roomy pan, but gently - don't let it come to smoke-point. Add the garlic first, then the livers. Season with a little salt and plenty of freshly ground pepper, increase the heat and stir-fry the livers for 3-4 minutes, until they're firm on the outside but pink and soft in the middle. Add the wine, stir in the parsley and let the mixture bubble up until it no longer smells of alcohol - a minute or two over a fierce heat. Stir in the parsley.
If you have more guests than you expected, fry up a panful of chips and pile the livers on the top - the chips soak up the sherry-flavoured juices.
