Season 2 of The Aftermath is out now!
Each episode looks at a different area where and whether accountability has been delivered for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. lawfaremedia.org/article/the-af…
"The Grossly Impudent Lie," Episode 1, looks at the perpetrators responsible for the lie that Donald Trump had won the 2020 election—and the different ways they have been held to account. lawfaremedia.org/article/the-af…
"Lawyers for the Coup," Ep 2, examines lawyers like John Eastman who created & promoted the legal strategy behind the insurrection, and what has happened to them in the three years after the attack (including whether they are still able to practice law.) lawfaremedia.org/article/the-af…

Today, Lawfare is launching the Trump Disqualification Tracker—a page created by @hyeminjhan and Caleb Benjamin to track challenges in the states to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot under Sec. 3 of the 14th amendment.

You can find case info on ongoing Sec. 3 litigation efforts across the country, including in CO, where the trial to bar Trump from the 2024 pres. ballot began today. Senior Editor @rparloff is live tweeting the hearing, and you can follow along here:
The page aggregates case data about past & current Sec. 3 challenges against Trump. We note that the procedural posture and legal theories behind these challenges vary, and dismissal in any particular action does not nec. bar other challenges from being brought in the same state.
