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.

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre believes losses like the £20m reported by the club in their latest set of accounts can now confidently be consigned to a different era.

The figures for the year ending July 2010 are the final vestige of the financially restricted reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The club was bought by Fenway Sports Group three months later and in one fell swoop the burden was immediately lifted as around £200m of acquisition debt was paid off.

"I definitely see it as a new era. I think we started it four or five months ago," Ayre said. "They [the figures] don't paint a picture of today."
