George Conway explains to Sam Stein (sitting in for Sarah Longwell) the “sandwich man” acquittal, and why tossing a wrapped hoagie at a Kevlar-clad officer wasn't “forcible assault”, plus the collapsing Comey case built on shaky indictments, dubious authority, and a near-certain legal dead end. Then, George is joined by Steve Vladeck to discuss the Supreme Court's review of Trump's tariffs, where questions on limits and delegation hint the justices may strike them down.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark and founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, discusses why neutrality no longer works in political journalism. Longwell argues that legacy media's “studied impartiality” has become a liability in a polarized, low-trust world—and that audiences now crave conviction over detachment. She explains how The Bulwark grew out of the ashes of The Weekly Standard to become a mission-driven newsroom defending liberal democracy, why she sees “no conflict, no interest” as the new media ethos, and how transparency about values builds more trust than feigned objectivity. The conversation covers the transformation from Never Trump to pro-democracy brand, Tim Miller's breakout as the face of its YouTube expansion, and why The Bulwark doesn't consider itself "a Substack."

Trump's obsession with tearing up the East Wing turns into a fight over symbolism, willpower, and what it really takes to undo his damage. JVL and Sarah Longwell go back and forth over what matters, what's just noise, and why elites still won't stand up to him. Plus: Trump's love for dictators, Reagan on tariffs, and Canada making him mad again.

George Conway explains to Sarah Longwell how the indictment of John Bolton fits into Donald Trump's broader pattern of targeting critics — but also why Bolton's case may have more substance than Trump's other so-called “revenge prosecutions.” They discuss what makes the Bolton charges different, the double standard around classified information, and how Trump's effort to label peaceful protests as “rebellion” reveals his authoritarian instincts.

This week on The Next Level Jonathan V. Last, Sarah Longwell, and Tim Miller discuss the GOP's accelerating moral collapse. MAGA wants to discredit No Kings protests as “Hate America” rallies, and a racist Young Republicans group chat leak shows how deep the rot goes. They explore how Kristi Noem's taxpayer-funded ad blitz crosses every ethical line and what it says about ICE's power in the administration. Plus, they debate whether establishment Democrats are sabotaging the party's Senate chances by pushing candidates they feel are safer bets.

Live from New York, Sarah Longwell, JVL and Tim Miller tear into America's culture of cowardice—from billionaires hiding in Hawaii to Merrick Garland's endless hesitation. They discuss into how Trump's intimidation works, why “lawfare” backfired, and why too many Democrats STILL seem afraid to fight. Note: This was recorded on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

Sarah Longwell and George Conway discuss Trump's fake prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James, the “Truth Social DM” fiasco, and his escalating use of the National Guard to provoke chaos — plus why Americans aren't taking the bait.

The administration may be trying to lay the groundwork for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act by invading Chicago but the real human stories are breaking through: ordinary Chicagoans are outraged that good, decent immigrants are being snatched off the street and their families' lives ruined. And while Kristi Noem keeps promoting the bad guys that are being rounded up, ICE is also treating American citizens abhorrently. Plus, from our live show in D.C., Rep. Sarah McBride talks with Sarah Longwell about the need for a big tent coalition without purity tests, and how the Dem demands for a renewal of the ACA subsidies is also a challenge to Trump's authoritarian power grab. Jacob Soboroff joins Tim Miller and Rep.

JVL and Sarah Longwell zero in on the government shutdown chaos and what it really means. They debate why Democrats can't afford to play defense, how Trump is openly embracing authoritarian ideas like Project 2025, and the GOP's sheer inability to govern even as they drive the country toward crisis. 

George Conway joins Sarah Longwell to talk the illegal news as Trump's authoritarian playbook ramps up with attacks on free speech, politicizing the military, prosecuting enemies, and weaponizing the funding fight as Democrats refuse to bankroll Trump's corrupt, authoritarian agenda.

Pete Hegseth calls in the nation's top generals and admirals so he can lecture them about being in shape and ending wokeness and Donald Trump can speak ominously about “the war from within” and using American cities as training grounds for troops. JVL, Sarah Longwell and Tim Miller react to the supremely weird meeting—and then spend some time reflecting on how the first nine months of Trump's second term have stacked up against JVL's worst case scenario from a year ago.

Donald Trump's DOJ just indicted James Comey—but is the case already falling apart? Sarah Longwell and Andrew Weissmann (filling in for George Conway) get into why this prosecution is weak, dangerous, and could blow up in Trump's face. 

In this episode, at a time where unprecedented news stories break every day, we're re-elevating the Jeffrey Epstein files. As victims continue to come forward, and new evidence continues to emerge, the questions and demands for justice grow louder. What can we learn from the information that has been released? What will it take for the full files to be released? And how will Trump respond? Joining us to discuss these issues is a very special guest:  George Conway: George Conway is the President of The Society for the Rule of Law, an organization of conservative and libertarian lawyers devoted to the protection of constitutional government in the United States. He is also the co-host of The Bulwark's popular podcast, George Conway Explain It All, with Sarah Longwell. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Another dark week: Trump toys with occupying Chicago, the FBI under Kash Patel ignores domestic terrorism, RFK Jr. runs HHS with conspiracy theories, and even the CDC is led by a political crony. JVL and Sarah Longwell ask the hard question, what if our democracy is already too broken to fix?

Sarah Longwell is joined by Andrew Weissmann to break down Trump's latest power grabs — from sending the National Guard into blue cities, to attempting to fire the Fed governor, to RFK Jr.'s anti-vax chaos at the CDC. Weissmann explains how courts, grand juries, and even officials are pushing back, what it means for democracy, and where the real dangers lie.

Sarah Longwell is back and ready to go! They dive into Trump's accelerating authoritarian moves, from masked cops snatching people off the streets to purging the Federal Reserve, while Gavin Newsom trolls Trump with meme-style politics that energize Democrats but raise doubts about his 2028 chances. Meanwhile, the DNC looks out of touch, bogged down in land acknowledgments and bad messaging, leaving many wondering if the party is ready to stand up to Trump's power grab.

Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller and JVL discuss the recent ICE job postings. These listings describe positions for “Deportation Officer”, "Criminal Investigator" and "General Attorney". They suggest this is part of a broader strategy to staff a loyalty-vetted enforcement agency with little oversight or transparency.  Then back to Epstein, who “stole” a 16-year-old girl from a Mar-a-Lago Spa, to work for him. They examine the deeply unsettling context of this story and how Trump appears to recount it without moral concern. They connect it to a broader pattern of normalization of sexual misconduct and the erosion of outrage in political culture.  Finally, the story of Luke Farritor, a young man who used AI to help decipher text from a scroll. Then went on to work for DOGE and who is to blame for his work. Get 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp at BetterHelp.com/THENEXTLEVEL. #sponsored

Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell and JVL debate whether Trump's reaction to the Epstein files, calling it a “hoax” and lashing out at former supporters, marks a turning point. They explore whether this could crack the deep trust his base has in him, especially conspiracy-driven voters who saw him as the one to expose elites. They also argue Democrats should lean into the issue, pushing for hearings and accountability. While Trump's health and appearance come up briefly, the real question is whether this controversy could shake his hold on crank-aligned voters who once saw him as their truth-teller.
