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.Having come so close to the Premier League title last season Liverpool will be bitterly disappointed with the current campaign.
At the half-way stage of the season they're out of the Champions League and nowhere near the top of the table. A top-four finish would be a fantastic achievement now.
But if they're to slot into that final Champions League qualification place they'll need to improve and bringing in a couple of players in January is one way of doing it.
What they need: Can they afford to wait for Daniel Sturridge to regain fitness without adding another striker? Brendan Rodgers will also have to sign a goalkeeper eventually and could do with proper wing-backs.
Top targets: Petr Cech (Chelsea), Sergio Romero (Sampdoria), Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid).
On the way out? Mario Balotelli (although Rodgers insists not. We shall see).
