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.

After beating Norwich last weekend and moving five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, few are expecting Liverpool to slip up in the race for the title.

If they can make it to the end of the season without letting slip of the top position, it will see a league title come to Anfield for the first time since 1990.

There are now just three games to negotiate before the season is out - but that is still enough for things to go very wrong.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has made it clear his side are taking the run-in game-by-game and not getting ahead of themselves, but with the title now so tantalisingly close, will his side be able to maintain their focus?

We take a look at some reasons why Liverpool will need to keep that focus if they are to end the 24 year wait..
