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.

It goes perfectly with hot, succulent turkey but also with the baked ham. It must, however, be not too sweet, for then it is cloying – a very slight tartness is nice.
The grated zest and juice of one orange
5 whole cloves
A small slice of ginger
80ml/3fl oz port
170g/6oz caster sugar
700g/25oz cranberries
Place the orange juice, zest, cloves, ginger, port and sugar into a pan and place over a low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and, once dissolved, add the cranberries. Bring the heat up to a simmer and cook, stirring from time to time for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; the cranberries should have just popped and the sauce thickened. Allow to cool to room temperature. Place in the fridge until ready to use. It can be made up to two days in advance. '
