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.Raheem Sterling has been dropped from the starting line-up for Liverpool's final game of the season.
The forward, 20, has been agitating for a move and on Friday talks between his camp and Liverpool were cancelled after an outburst from his agent, Aidy Ward.
Ward said that Sterling would not accept '£900,000-a-week' to stay at Anfield and was likely to move to either Manchester City or Chelsea this summer.
One of Brendan Rodgers' key players for the last two seasons, the Liverpool boss has decided to name him among the substitutes.
Sterling is one of three changes made after the team lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace in Steven Gerrard's final match at Anfield. Mamadou Sakho, Lucas Lieva and Joe Allen come in for Sterling, Dejan Lovren and Jordon Ibe.
Asmir Begovic's return is the only change for Stoke.
LINE-UPS:
Stoke: Begovic, Cameron, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters, NZonzi, Whelan, Adam, Walters, Arnautovic, Diouf.
Subs: Butland, Ireland, Odemwingie, Wilson, Sidwell, Crouch, Wollscheid.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Lallana, Coutinho.
Subs: Ward, Toure, Lovren, Lambert, Sterling, Ibe, Markovic.
