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.Jurgen Klopp has made three changes for the visit of Newcastle.
The Reds sat four points clear at Christmas and will be hoping to at least maintain that advantage when they welcome Rafa Benitez's Magpies to Anfield.
Trent Alexander-Arnold comes in at right-back in place of Nathaniel Clyne while Georginio Wijnaldum is handed a start in the centre of midfield. In-form Xherdan Shaqiri also starts with Fabinho dropping down to the bench.
James Milner is ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
