The Washington Monthly called him as "one of America's most important journalists." The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.

Richmond, California used to be called America's “Murder Capital”. But when city leaders chose a different path the city's gun violence problem dramatically declined. DeVone Boggan and UC Berkeley's Jason Corburn join Claudia to discuss their new book “Advancing Peace”, which chronicles their efforts to reduce gun violence in Richmond and other cities by focusing on those most likely to pull the trigger. Boggan and Corburn make a case for an approach to gun violence interruption grounded in deep mentorship, community investment and healing and accountability. We discuss:The book's core ideas: ending urban gun violence with redemptive loveHow public health overlooks community strengths by fixating on riskWhy Richmond's Office of Neighborhood Safety sits in government - but outside policingDeVone says that the greatest demonstration of this approach has always been Richmond: “From the moment we implemented the Peacemaker Fellowship in 2010, within 18 to 24 months after we did that, there were dramatic, precipitous reductions in gun violence… Our argument has been [that] when you get the right people to get at the right people the right way over a long period of time, here's living proof and demonstration of what can happen…In 2014, we achieved a 40 year low in gun violence [in Richmond].” Relevant LinksRead Jason and DeVone's book “Advancing Peace: Ending Urban Gun Violence through the Power of Redemptive Love”Listen to an episode from our archives with Megan Ranney on gun violence as a public health issueCheck out Richmond, California's Office of Neighborhood SafetyRead more about Jason Corburn's work at UC BerkeleyGet more information on DeVone's organization Advance PeaceAbout Our GuestsDeVone Boggan serves as Founder and CEO of Advance Peace. Advance Peace interrupts gun violence in American urban neighborhoods by providing transformational opportunities to young men involved in lethal firearm offenses and placing them in a high-touch, personalized fellowship. By working with and supporting a targeted group of individuals at the core of gun hostilities, Advance Peace bridges the gap between anti-violence programming and a hard-to-reach population at the center of violence in urban areas, thus breaking the cycle of gun hostilities and altering the trajectory of these men's lives. DeVone is the former Neighborhood Safety Director and founding director of the Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) for the City of Richmond, California. The ONS is a government, non-law enforcement agency that is charged with reducing firearm assaults and associated deaths in Richmond. Under his leadership as Neighborhood Safety Director, the city experienced a 71% reduction in gun violence between 2007 when the office was created and 2016. His work with ONS has been recognized in national publications and media, including the New York Times, Mother Jones, The Nation, Detroit Free Press, The Washington Post, TIME Magazine, PBS NewsHour, NPR, NBC Nightly News, ABC Nightline, CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN.

In S5Ep10 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with radiant force of resilience, defiant survivor, corky community catalyst and proud Detroit Machine, Sarah Nitz, who has been preparing for the Detroit Free Press Half Marathon on Sunday October 19th, 2025. Coach Bambi, founder of Machine Athletics, culture missionary, and queen of conviction returns to show to offer her signature blend of mentorship, motivation, and trademark Machine-made wisdom.Sarah & Coach dive into a moving exchange about strength, stewardship, and the evolution of self through adversity. A proud member of both Machine Athletics and WeRun313, Sarah opens up about her journey from cancer diagnosis to comeback — how running became both a refuge and a reminder that healing isn't about returning to who you once were, but embracing who you've become. Coach then ties in the power of belief — reminding us that strength starts in the mind. For Sarah, belief wasn't just mindset—it was survival. That same faith now fuels her running, her purpose, and the light she gives back to others.The squad then explores the spiritual side of sport — how faith, community, and self-compassion can coexist with grit, ambition, and the drive to grow. They talk about what it means to mourn old versions of yourself, to release what no longer serves you, and to run lighter — not just physically, but emotionally. From surviving to thriving, Sarah's story becomes a living blueprint for resilience & grace: proof that desire doesn't age, and passion doesn't need a finish line.Things get even more vulnerable when the crew unpacks mindset and attitude. What does it really mean to trust the process, embrace imperfection, and remember that rest isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Oh the places we'll go when we embody the truth that running is a luxury, a practice of gratitude, and a celebration of what it means to simply be alive and moving forward.Where my OLG's at?! Make me or break me coach! Dog aid?? Runnymoons?! Whale watching?! YOU HAVE TO GO GET IT. Puzzle pieces, self belief & tracking marathons in bars oh my! This and so much more in a deeply inspiring, joy-charged, and perspective-shifting edition of the PRP.Recorded Tuesday October 14th @ 6:00PM EST

Michigan Progressive House candidate for the state's 7th Congressional District, William Lawrence, held a vigil and and food drive for his fellow working class citizens, who had their food benefits ended on November 1st, thanks to the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown.  Current MAGA Congressman for the 7th District, Tom Barrett, refused to help-out during the vigil, and instead cried about "vandalism" after someone wrote some non-offensive words in chalk on his district office building in Lansing.  While Barrett complains about chalk while rubber-stamping Dear Leader Trump's entire economic failings, over a million Michiganders--and over 40-million Americans--are in danger of losing their food benefits.  We're in the new Gilded Age, but this time, it's backed by an authoritarian government.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Congressional candidate hosts food drive and vigil outside Rep.
