Just 2 years after voters approved Prop 1, CA has exceeded our goal of 6.8K new behavioral health treatment beds.

In 1957, CA had 37K psychiatric beds with half of today’s population.

@governor.ca.gov is closing the gap, meeting the crisis, and moving people from streets to treatment.

Taking a victory lap on "LOWEST EVER" gas prices, then calling Americans "FOOLS" for worrying about his war with Iran raising prices?

Donald Trump is a con man with no plan and failing the American people.
