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 dutifully posted the teaser trailer for Game of Thrones season 7 episode 4, 'The Spoils of War', minutes after episode 3 concluded, seeing Daenerys Targaryen in crisis following the sacking of Highgarden.

"All my allies are gone, I'm losing," she tells Jon Snow on the shores of Dragonstone, referencing Euron's attack on the Greyjoys in episode 2 and Jaime's attack on the Tyrells in episode 3.

It seems she will now be more keen to negotiate with Jon - even if he isn't willing to bend the knee - and favour a full-scale instead of controlled strikes.

"Enough with the clever plans," she declares.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Cersei is seen striking a deal with the Iron Bank, the Lannisters having its backing if they deliver the gold pillaged from Highgarden, with the Queen saying: "My only venture at this moment is reestablishing control over this continent and every person on it."

There are also glimpses of Arya Stark finally arriving at Winterfell, Theon Greyjoy making it back to shore, Brienne of Tarth fighting and Podrick being thrown to the ground.

Episode 3, 'The Queen's Justice', was the season's best so far, involving some strong diplomatic scenes as Jon and Daenerys met for the first time.
