HISTORIA
“The Illegal News” is where law meets politics. Each week, Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell (not a lawyer) sits down with a legal expert to unpack how the latest court filings, rulings, and procedural twists and turns of the Trump era are shaping American democracy. These are conversations about justice without the jargon, giving you context for the biggest developments and surfacing the legal (and illegal) moves not getting enough attention. If you're looking for "George Conway Explains It All to Sarah Longwell," George is off on a new adventure, but Sarah will keep you covered.

I heard on the show that you would like some reviews. First of all - great show!! The dynamic btwn you guys is fantastic. And you make me laugh every episode which is helpful for my emotional health because…well…there are a lot of “hello, wtf, are you insane???”-things going on in your country right now. As we all know so painfully well. So it’s comforting knowing that there are a bunch of engaging, smart and funny people, who are out there swinging and telling the truth since all the “lunatic beyond salvation”-idiots are trying to f*k everything up whenever they can. Which apparently is 24/7. I appreciate you! ❤️from Stockholm, Sweden
