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's director of football Damien Comolli believes the Fenway Sports Group have already laid the right foundations for success.
Next week will mark six months in charge for the Americans and the atmosphere at the club has changed dramatically from that experienced under the dysfunctional reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
FSG, headed by principal owner John W Henry, sanctioned the outlay of a club record £35million on Andy Carroll and £22.8million on Luis Suarez as they spent the income from the £50million transfer of Fernando Torres and the sale of Ryan Babel to Hoffenheim.
And Comolli believes that has shown the new owners are prepared to invest for success.
"I share the fans' optimism because the owners said things when they arrived and stuck to their words in January," he told LFC Weekly.
"They have shown their commitment and their backing and everything they have said they will do, they have done.
"I never had any doubts about that but I think for the fans it has given them re-assurance that the owners will stick to their words and that they are ambitious.
"When you talk to John Henry and ask him what his plans are for the club, the only thing he says is: 'I want to win.'
"When that's the starting point, everybody has to make sure that everything we do is geared in that direction. That's the bottom line."
