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.

The first trailer for The Handmaid's Tale season three has been released.

Elisabeth Moss returns as Offred for new episodes and it seems that, after the events of season two, she'll be wielding more power than ever before.

The trailer teases a glimmer of hope for the handmaids as the power structure of Gilead is revealed to be dented from within. Bradley Whitford is back as Commander Joseph Lawrence and seems to have taken Offred into his care.

When merged with the fact that Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) now appears to be fighting for good, the handmaids seem to stand a better chance of escape than ever before.

"As Mrs Waterford, you have influence," Offred tells her former captor. "Up to a point," she responds." Offred's reply? "Then move that point."

Returning cast members include Samira Wiley, Joseph Fiennes, Max Minghella, OT Fagbenle and Ann Dowd whose fearsome Aunt Lydia is shown alive after her fall in the season two finale.

The Handmaid's Tale returns in the US on 5 June and will be shown on Channel 4 in the UK. An air date is yet to be announced.
