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.
Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool supporters will get a taste of what is to come next season if they tune into the friendly between the Republic of Ireland and England.
Roy Hodgson has opted for a diamond formation for the game in Dublin and selected Reds captain Jordan Henderson alongside James Milner in central midfield, who signed a deal this week to play for Liverpool next season.
The formation also includes a third Liverpool man, Adam Lallana, in the four-man midfield as the attacking point of the diamond.

The trio have played together for England before, of course, but that was when Milner was at Manchester City.
With Steven Gerrard almost out of the Anfield door, the friendly at the Aviva Stadium is the first chance the three players - and Henderson and Milner especially - have to find a working relationship in central midfield.
Arsenal's Jack Wilshere will be at the base of the diamond.
