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.

25g spring onions, trimmed
25g red onion, trimmed
1 level teaspoon red chilli, finely chopped
15g flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp thyme leaves
sea salt, black pepper
juice of half a lime
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Finely chop the onions, chilli and herbs together. Mix them in a bowl with salt and pepper, the lime juice and olive oil. Score the chicken breasts 0.5cm deep on both sides, about 2cm apart. Season with salt and spread one heaped teaspoon of Bajun seasoning on each side, filling the grooves. Place on a plate, cover with clingfilm and chill for up to two hours. Grill or barbecue the chicken on a medium-hot heat, taking care not to scorch the herbs.
