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.

This variation works very well with sprouting or normal broccoli and children invariably fall for the the gooey mozzarella inside.
Warka pastry is traditionally used in this dish, but it can be tricky to get hold of – filo pastry works just as well and can be bought in ready sheets from any supermarket.
150g sprouting or normal broccoli, cooked
100-150g mozzarella
4 sheets of filo pastry, cut into 30cm squares
Olive oil for frying
Chop up the broccoli and season and break the mozzarella into small pieces.
Heat a little olive oil in a heavy or non-stick frying pan, lay a sheet of the filo in the pan, overlapping the edges, and put a quarter of the broccoli and mozzarella just off the centre of the filo; fold it in half into a triangle.
Fry for a few minutes until crisp, then flip it over and fry the other side |until crisp.
Do the same with the other 4 sheets |of filo pastry, keeping them warm in |the oven until they are all cooked. Serve immediately.
