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.

House of Cards season 3 will be released to Netflix on 27 Febuary 2015, when (obligatory spoiler warning) Frank Underwood begins his presidency.

"President Underwood and the First Lady will be making an announcement today at 11 A.M. EST. Please stand by..." the show's official Twitter account posted this morning.

It then followed up with a 12-second teaser showing Frank and Claire walking up the stairs of Air Force One with characteristic malevolent elegance.

Anticipation for the third season is high following the barnstorming second, which bumped off reporter protagonist Zoe Barnes in the first episode to weave a rich and complex story of political skulduggery.

It ended with Frank double-crossing the president and forcing him out of the Oval Office, slamming his fist into its table at the season's close as he assumed the seat of power.

All of the episodes are expected to drop in one go, as was the case with previous seasons, though it is not yet known how many there will be.
