VR42 - Today on Vapid Response Wednesday: Lydia, Thomas, and Matt check in on the official podcast of Stephen Miller's America First Legal, and Matt brings the receipts to show just how bad its recurring "Bad Legal Takes" feature truly is. How is an organization with this much dark money behind it so consistently terrible at producing the MAGA version of our very own Vapid Response? Plus in today's amuse douche: toad and toady are reunited when Michael Cohen's former boss stops by his podcast and Cohen finally gets to stop pretending that he ever actually disagreed with Donald Trump.

Cases and sources discussed:

• Website for the America First Legal podcast The Arena
• Text of Virginia HR333ER (signed into law 3/6/26)
• Order on Defendant’s motion to dismiss in F.F. v. Valley View School District
• History and case documents from Pablo Sequen v. Albarran from the ACLU website
• Thomas & Alito dissent from SCOTUS majority’s denial of motion for leave to file a bill of complaint in Florida v. California and Washington (5/26/26)
