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.
Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool's attacking trio helped themselves to four goals against a beleaguered Red Star Belgrade at Anfield.
Mo Salah scored his 50th goal for Liverpool and Roberto Firmino ended his goal drought but it was diminutive Swiss playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri who lit up proceedings.
The free-roaming midfielder opened up Red Star's defence to break the deadlock and his cute flick put Mo Salah clean through for the second.
All too often the Switzerland star seems to labour towards the end of games due to his stocky physique, however, it might just be that he won Jurgen Klopp's approval, who withdrew him on the 68th minute so he's fresh for when Liverpool host Cardiff on Saturday.
