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.

With the sixth season of Game of Thrones starting within the next 24 hours, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of their favourite characters.

In the build up, many questions have been asked about Jon Snow’s fate, yet little has been seen or asked of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s Jaime Lannister.

The actor was a guest on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, promoting the upcoming season and debuting an extended clip featuring his character and the High Sparrow in King’s Landing.

As you may suspect, with the Sparrow having made Jaime’s sister/lover Cercei walk the streets of the city naked, the Lannister is not best pleased, and asks what he should do to repent his many sins (including being a kingslayer, allowing Tyrion to escape and being involved with his daughter’s death).

The clip abruptly stops after he details what he has done, leaving us guessing as to what the High Sparrow’s response will be. Luckily, fans don’t have to wait long, as the first episode of season six debuts much later tonight. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
