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 drew a crucial away game to Bulgarian minnows Ludogorets thanks to a goalkeeping error and a late goal from a corner.
Simon Mignolet got Brendan Rodgers' team off to the worst possible start when he fumbled a tame effort straight into the path of Dani Abalo, who prodded home.
But the Reds responded well, Rickie Lambert - Liverpool's most impressive performer in Sofia - capitalising on a defensive error to make it 1-1 almost immediately.
Liverpool then went in front when Raheem Sterling sent over a brilliant pass into the path of Jordan Henderson, and the Reds should have made it 3-1 when Steven Gerrard put Sterling through.
However, the young England winner hit his shot straight at the keeper.
Ludogorets piled on the pressure in the final quarter of the game and were rightly rewarded when Georgi Terziev headed home from a corner.
Liverpool now must beat Basel to qualify for the knockout stages.
