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.

For the ponzu dressing
1 ½ tbsp lime juice
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
30ml mirin
5 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp rice vinegar
For the salad
200g sugar snaps
1 small iceberg lettuce, in chunks
Large handful watercress leaves
6 breakfast radishes, cut into fine rounds using a mandolin
150g daikon, peeled and cut into fine rounds using a mandolin
1 ripe avocado, halved and roughly chopped
10g chives, chopped into 5cm lengths
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to cool and infuse for at least 2 hours. Strain before using.
Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the sugar snaps and blanch for 30 seconds, drain and refresh under ice-cold water. Cut diagonally in half.
