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.

HBO has released a trailer for season 5 of Girls, seeing the friendship group fragment somewhat.

‘Girls grow up, they grow apart’ the teaser states, going on to reveal that Shoshanna (Zoysia Mamet) did accept her job offer in Japan from season 4.

Hannah (Lena Dunham) still appears to be with Fran (Jake Lacy) meanwhile, but the biggest news is that Marnie (Allison Williams) is trying on wedding dresses.

“Is Marnie seriously marrying this douchebag musician???? But Rayyy!!!” a YouTuber exclaimed, to many upvotes.

It seems Marnie's friends are similarly skeptical, with the character being heard saying over the footage: “The very least you could do right now is to pretend that I might be doing the right thing.”

Dunham, who is also the creator and director of Girls, has said that season 6 may be the last, as she thinks “America has a tendency to push shows past their due dates,” adding that the writing team have already begun to “think about how to wrap up the storylines of these particular young women.”

Girls season 5 premieres on HBO on 21 February.
