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.

Fiorentina have signed Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani for a reported fee of £5.5m.

The 28-year-old Italian arrived at Anfield from Roma in August 2009 for £17m but his time on Merseyside was badly affected by injury. He was unable to establish himself in the team, making just 28 appearances for the club. He has spent the last two seasons on loan in Italy, firstly at Juventus and then Milan.

Despite good performances for both teams, in particular during his time in Turin, neither club took up the offer to buy him and he returns to Serie A as a member of Vincenzo Montella's new-look Fiorentina.
