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.Next week's episode of The Walking Dead looks set to be a particularly gruesome one as The Saviours' plans to catapult walker guts into the Hilltop are put into action.
Despite Negan's initial plans to merely put the frighteners on Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and company, Simon (Steven Ogg) has managed to convince his group to go one step further in the absence of his leader: after wiping out Jadis' entire community, he's dead set on doing the same thing here.
What he doesn't know is that Dwight (Austin Amelio) is working for the other side which, by our money, places Simon's future into doubt.
It was Eugene (Josh McDermitt) who provided Negan with the idea of weaponising the undead, something which could have serious repercussions considering Father Gabriel seems to have gone blind after dousing himself in guts to escape a horde he was surrounded by earlier this season
Whatever happens, the trailer for next week's episode - titled - teases yet another tense night-time battle.
The latest episode of the AMC series introduced a mysterious new character named Georgie (Jayne Atkinson) who fans are convinced could be the recently-added Pamela Milton who is a huge part of the New World Order era of Robert Kirkman's comic book series. More on Georgie and Pamela here.
The Walking Dead season 8 continues on AMC every Sunday with the UK premiere arriving the next evening on FOX as well as being available to stream on NOW TV.
