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.England midfielder James Milner has decided to reject the opportunity to join Champions League side Arsenal in favour of a move to Liverpool.
The 29-year-old is available on a free this summer after deciding to leave Manchester City, and has decided to stay in the North rather than move to London, according to the Daily Mirror.
Although nothing can officially be agreed until the end of the season next week, the paper reports that Milner has picked the Reds over the Gunners as he believes there will be more opportunities to play in central midfield at Anfield.
Liverpool will also apparently make him one of their best paid players with an offer of £100,000-a-week.
Milner also does not want to uproot his family, whilst Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes he can replace departing club legend Steven Gerrard in the centre of the midfield.
Milner has been unhappy at the Etihad having been played out of position.
