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.Fernando Torres insists sacking Rafael Benitez would not provide "a solution" to Liverpool's problems.
The Spanish striker has also underlined the bleak future facing Liverpool by admitting the club cannot afford to buy top-class players in the January transfer window.
"I think sacking the manager is not a solution," said Torres.
"The manager is not playing so we have to be positive with him, try to work with him.
"We are the main reason, the players are the persons that have to find a solution to the situation. The manager is not playing, so we have to play much better."
The Reds are in eighth spot in the Premier League, their American owners are under pressure to cut their £240million debt, and they are out of the Champions League.
They are also facing a £20million cut in income if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season - and they are eight points away from fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Torres added: "Obviously we need players. If we can bring in quality players it should be really positive for us, but I think the situation is really difficult because I think we don't have money to bring in the best players.
"It's a difficult situation but every top team in the world goes sometimes through a bad situation like Liverpool now.
"Like every top team in the world, Liverpool will get over the situation."
