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.To mark the return of Game of Thrones, HBO has sorted fans out with the perfect refresher recapping key events from the past six seasons.
The seventh season opener premiere debuted simultaneously in the US and UK last night (read our review here) with a dramatic episode featuring hints galore, a Harry Potter reference and one cameo fans haven't taken kindly to.
Earlier this week, betting was suspended on a spoiler surrounding the season seven finale following a surge of “telling” bets.
You can find a compilation of everything we know so far about the forthcoming episodes (the titles of which have been released by HBO) here, as well as a look at incest in Westeros ahead of Jon's meet with his auntie Dany.
Check out the latest episode of our podcast Kernels where we debate whether the series deserves the acclaim it receives.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on 16 July and will be simulcast at 2am on Sky Atlantic. It will air the following evening (17 July) on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
