On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN: many observers worry about the present & future of American democracy. I’ll return to lessons from the past in conversations w/ prominent historians … • Historian & biographer @WalterIsaacson has published a new book about the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, entitled “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written.” We’ll discuss what the founders’ words can teach us about regaining political unity today • In a new six-part PBS series, renowned filmmaker @KenBurns revisits the nation’s beginning: the American Revolution. I’ll ask Burns what we can learn from the moment that launched the country’s democratic experiment • It has become customary to call the excesses of the Trump administration “unprecedented”—but Pres. Trump’s actions do have historical precedents in America, and understanding them can help us understand our present moment. I’ll discuss w/ the celebrated historian Beverly Gage • Finally, I’ll look abroad. One of the biggest threats to liberal democracy comes from a region that was once considered its brightest horizon: Eastern Europe. Why does right-wing populism hold such allure there? I’ll ask the Bulgarian-born political scientist Ivan Krastev
