SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: STAT+: Trump administration quietly picks Timothy Westlake to lead mental health agency
URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/23/trump-nominates-timothy-westlake-samhsa/?utm_campaign=rss
Nearly 18 months after taking office, President Trump has nominated a leader for the federal agency that oversees mental health and addiction policy.
If confirmed by the Senate, Timothy Westlake, a Wisconsin-based physician with decades of experience in both clinical and policy roles, would serve as assistant secretary of mental health and substance use. The position would also make him head of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which has operated without a long-term leader since Trump was inaugurated in January 2025.
Notably, the White House did not formally announce its pick for a key role overseeing an agency that controls billions of dollars in funding and regulates the practice of psychiatry and addiction medicine. Instead, it quietly included his name in a list of nominees sent to the Senate on July 14. By contrast, Trump announced former Fox News correspondent Sara Carter as his nominee for a related agency, the Office of National Drug Control Policy, in a post on Truth Social in March 2025.

Chaos erupts in NJ courts after Trump’s personal lawyer, Alina Habba, stays on as U.S. attorney without Senate approval. Judges tried installing her assistant, but the Trump admin pulled off a legal shuffle to rehire Habba, pausing hearings and trials. A defendant’s lawyer says she’s “unlawfully” in office. AG Pam Bondi even fired the new appointee to restore Habba. Will Trump’s maneuvering prevail or backfire on this controversial pick? Find out more: https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-plan-to-keep-personal-lawyer-alina-habba-in-power-throws-criminal-cases-into-chaos/ #alinahabba #donaldtrump #pamBondi #usattorney #law #senateconfirmation #nj #politics

Can a Cabinet secretary in office due to a recess appointment sign onto a 25th amendment removal from office?
I'm thinking that recess appointments are Trump's protection from Vance declaring him insane and removing him.

@fawfulfan The difference between Lloyd Austin & Tommy Tuberville:
As an honorable person tasked to take responsibility for United States security & safety, SecDef Austin never complained about & refused to run through security clearance procedures.
And SecDef Austin also wasn't in Trump's International D.C. hotel on the eve of the Jan 6 insurrection to prepare for the obstruction of an official proceeding.
Tommy Tuberville was.
