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.

120g unsalted butter
200g caster sugar
4 medium eggs, separated
50g plain flour, sifted
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
juice of 2 lemons
400ml milk
icing sugar for dusting
creme fraiche to serve
Heat the oven to 170C fan oven/180C or 350F electric oven/Gas 4. Cream the butter and caster sugar together until pale. Incorporate the egg yolks, then the flour, lemon zest, juice and milk. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff and fold them into the lemon mixture - if you use a food processor to cream the mixture, then transfer it to a bowl first. Pour the mixture into a buttered 20cm souffle dish. Dust with icing sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and risen. Serve straight away, with a spoon of creme fraiche.
