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.

I reckon the sundae and knickerbocker glory are going to make a bit of a comeback on restaurant menus. They are lovely and colourful, and can be tweaked and adapted according to what's in season; autumn fruits, for example, would make a great sundae providing great colours after those bright summer reds.
If you really want to go to town, you could also make strawberry crisps by simply slicing large strawberries and drying them in an airing cupboard or an extremely low oven until dry and crisp.
300–350g strawberries, hulled
About 120ml clotted cream
About 400ml good-quality vanilla ice cream, preferably homemade – see the following recipe (but leave out the cherry purée and the grated chocolate)
Blend about half of the strawberries in a liquidiser until smooth, then strain the purée through a fine sieve to remove the seeds if necessary.
Slice the rest of the strawberries. Put a few strawberry slices in each of four tall glasses and spoon in some of the purée and clotted cream. Pile three small balls of ice cream into the glasses, scattering in more strawberry slices as you do so. Spoon on the rest of the strawberry purée and clotted cream, then top with the remaining strawberry slices to serve.
