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.

Christian Benteke. Following a prolific spell at Aston Villa, Benteke didn't enjoy the happiest of times at Anfield. Clearly out of favour under Jürgen Klopp, he joined the Eagles in search of a regular starting place and having scored against his current club in the corresponding fixture last season, the Belgian will be hoping to return the favour on Saturday.
Best stat…
The last eight games between these teams have failed to produce a single clean sheet.
Remember when...
Liverpool were in the driving seat for the title with 15 minutes to go in May 2014, only to throw away a three-goal lead?
Player to watch…
Sadio Mane. Finished off a sweeping move for the first goal against West Brom on Saturday and then turned provider for Coutinho. He likes facing Palace, having scored three goals and claimed two assists in five games against them during his Southampton days.
