The world of US politics and media is abuzz with recent developments that have left many wondering what's next. In a recent interview, California Governor Gavin Newsom shared his thoughts on populism, the presidency, and his own potential candidacy. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has praised the changes at CBS under its new management, and the Pentagon has removed a senior military official from their post.

According to Newsom, the current state of politics is one of great divide, with many politicians struggling to find common ground. "Trump's not enough. And he knows he's not enough," Newsom said, referencing the former president's inability to unite the American people. Newsom, who has been touted as a potential Democratic nominee for the 2028 presidential election, believes that he can bring people together and provide a sense of unity that has been lacking in recent years.

However, not everyone is convinced that Newsom is the right person for the job. Critics have long accused him of being a smooth-talking elitist, and some have questioned his ability to connect with everyday Americans. Despite this, Newsom remains a popular figure in California and has been praised for his progressive policies and commitment to social justice.

In other news, the FCC has commended the changes at CBS under its new management. According to FCC Chair Brendan Carr, the network is "doing a great job" since being taken over by Larry Ellison and his son David. Carr praised the network's new leadership, saying that they are "one of the things that's really impressive" about the company.

However, not all is well in the world of US politics and media. The Pentagon recently removed Vice Adm. Fred Kacher, the director of the Joint Staff, from his post and sent him back to the Navy. The reason for Kacher's removal is unclear, but it has sparked speculation about the inner workings of the Pentagon and the military's leadership.

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams has also been making headlines, speaking out against President Trump's nominee for surgeon general, Casey Means. Adams has questioned Means' qualifications for the role, saying that it is "incomprehensible" that the Senate is considering her nomination.

Finally, the Trump administration's new website, TrumpRx, has been met with criticism from many who say that it does not provide real relief for families struggling with high drug prices. The website is intended to help Americans find cheaper prescription medications, but many have pointed out that it is simply a poor imitation of existing services like GoodRx.

As the US continues to navigate the complexities of politics and media, one thing is clear: there is no shortage of news and developments to keep track of. From Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions to the FCC's praise of CBS's new management, there is always something new to learn and discover.
