Your support helps us to tell the story
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.One of the Premier League's great fixtures, Manchester United versus Liverpool kicked off today, but it was evident in the eagerly-awaited team news the amount of star names absent in either starting XI.
Combining the two starting XIs today, there is arguably a stronger XI of just injured and dropped players.
Summer additions such as Marcos Rojo, Radamel Falcao, Daley Blind and Mario Balotelli all miss out, as does Liverpool's talisman, Daniel Sturridge.

United burst out of the traps in the contest at Old Trafford, going 2-0 up in the first half after goals from Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata.
