Newsom announces $3.3B in Prop 1 grants to expand behavioral health service
The funding, administered through the California Department of Health Care Services, will support the creation of more than 5,000 residential treatment beds and over 21,800 outpatient treatment slots. The grants are part of the Proposition 1 Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program Round 1: Launch Ready awards.

'Californians demanded swift action to address our state's behavioral health crisis when they voted for Prop 1 in March 2024. Today, we're delivering our biggest win yet. These launch-ready projects will build and expand residential beds and treatment slots for those who need help. Whether it's crisis stabilization, inpatient services, or long-term treatment, we're ensuring that individuals can access the right care at the right time,' Newsom said in a statement.
According to the state, California faces a shortage of more than 7,000 behavioral health beds. Newsom said Monday's awards are a step toward closing that gap and ensuring that residents have access to crisis stabilization, inpatient services, and long-term treatment when and where they need it.
According to the governor's office, the awards issued during Round 1 will 'help to create a comprehensive behavioral health system.' The investment will support the state's long-term goal 'to reduce mental health crises, increase the availability of services, and support community-based solutions.'

A second round of BHCIP funding, known as Round 2: Unmet Needs, is expected to provide more than $800 million in competitive grants. A request for applications is expected to be released later this month.

Fox News' Dana Perino Insists Newsom's Trump Trolling Is ‘Cringe' and ‘Just Not Funny'
The California Governor claps back against "DING DONG DANE" with another all caps Trump parody Fox News personality Dana Perino was adamant on Tuesday's episode of 'The Five' that she gets what the joke is with Gavin Newsom's parodies of Donald Trump social media posts. She thinks 'it's just not funny.' Newsom has recently started doing ALL CAPS parodies of Donald Trump's social media posts, only from his own POV, which has drawn a lot of attention to the California governor. On Monday, Perino dismissed Newsom's efforts to mock the president and promote his own agenda in this way, saying in part that he is 'making a fool of yourself, stop it,' and that 'he has to be a little bit more serious' if he wants to be President of the United States.

And so it is on Tuesday's 'The Five' she waded into it again. 'California's got a huge amount of problems. And if you think about Mamdani, his authenticity is what rocketed him to the top. And now you have Cuomo trying to copy him, and it's just cringe. And that was my point. Is that if you're doing this and it's not authentic and you're trying to do somebody else who you say is Hitler and you think that we don't get the joke, oh no, we get the joke, it's just not funny,' Perino said in part. Watch part of that below: Shortly after the episode aired, Newsom clapped back with another Trump parody. 'DANA 'DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!)

We'll keep you updated if this disagreement goes into day three. Meanwhile, Newsom explained last week in a press conference what his strategy is. 'I hope it's a wakeup call. The President of the United States — I'm sort of following his example. And if you've got issues with what I'm putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns about what he's putting out as president,' he said in part. He continued: 'So to the extent it's gotten some attention, I'm pleased. But I think the deeper question is: How have we allowed the normalization of his tweets, Truth Social posts over the course of the last many years to go without similar scrutiny and notice?'

Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg's Chances of Beating JD Vance in 2028: Poll
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new poll shows potential 2028 presidential election matchups between Vice President JD Vance and prominent Democratic leaders as next year's midterm campaigns are on the horizon. Why It Matters Early polls, especially in crucial swing states, have gained significance as potential contenders for the 2028 presidential election begin to emerge. Even with the election still a few years away, polling could offer insight into candidate viability, voter sentiment and evolving party dynamics, particularly after the pivotal 2024 election cycle. What To Know In the poll released Tuesday by SoCal Strategies and sponsored by On Point Politics and Red Eagle Politics, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom secured 39 percent in a potential matchup with Vance, who landed 37 percent. The survey shows 23 percent were undecided in the matchup. In a race against former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Vance trailed with 37 percent of the vote compared to Buttigieg's 41 percent. The survey shows 21 percent were undecided. The poll surveyed 700 U.S. adults on August 18. "The survey was weighted by age, gender, race, education, and 2024 vote to match the Bonfire National Voter File," the pollster noted. ESPN host Stephen A. Smith also came close to Vance in the survey, receiving 35 percent of the vote compared to Vance's 37 percent. Previous polling has shown Vance as the clear GOP primary front-runner. The field is more crowded for Democrats, as former Vice President Kamala Harris, Newsom and Buttigieg all are early top contenders. Tuesday's poll also shows President Donald Trump's overall approval rating at 45 percent versus a disapproval rating of 48 percent.

(Photo by) What People Are Saying Columbia University professor Robert Y. Shapiro, to Newsweek via email on Tuesday: "It is of course much too early to tell anything significant from this other than the 2028 election is likely to be close just like the last presidential elections. See the high percent undecided as well. "The data may suggest that Vance is not as strong a candidate as Donald Trump, but we would need to compare the hypothetical of Trump running for an imaginary third term against Newsom or Buttigieg. Regardless of what might happen in the midterm election, it looks like 2028 will be another nail biter..." Trump, while answering questions during a news conference on the 2028 Olympics, when directly asked if Vance is the successor to MAGA: "Well, I think most likely in all fairness, he's the vice president. I think Marco [Rubio] is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form. I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here, so it's too early obviously to talk about it but certainly he's doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point." What Happens Next Pollsters and analysts were expected to release additional national and state-level surveys in the coming months as midterm campaigning ramps up.

Clerks from all 55 WV counties gather for election conference at Canaan Valley

Representatives from all 55 counties were in attendance at the Canaan Valley Resort in Davis for a three-day conference hosted by West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner and his Elections Division staff. 'We do this as a lead-up into each election, mid-term or general election. It's my first election conference as newly elected Secretary of State, so we're very pleased with the fact that, again, all 55 counties are participating,' Warner said. WVDEP approves permit for proposed Tucker County data center The conference focused on voter registration, federal guidelines, absentee voting, election day preparation, ADA compliance for polling locations, canvassing and election night reporting. Warner said that more than 200 representatives from across the state were present this week, and that events such as this help West Virginia's municipalities stay prepared for election season and allow citizens to vote with confidence. 'It's the clerks that get the job done, and when you have all 55 counties represented, you know that it's going to be another great year, and another election where people can show up and vote, and have confidence in the system, get unofficial results on election night and ten days later have those election results certified, so it's very rewarding,' Warner said.
