• Mobile's presidential visits throughout history (wkrg.com) — Mobile’s long history of presidential visits now includes Donald Trump’s latest stop, joining leaders from Theodore Roosevelt to Barack Obama.

• CBS Bashes Trump Over Polls Numbers and SNAP Changes Amid Midterm Campaigning (newsbusters.org) — A CBS Evening News segment spotlighted a Theodore food bank reporting a surge in requests for help after federal SNAP eligibility changes tied to Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The piece, criticized by this article as anti-Trump, links those stricter rules and higher fuel costs to growing pressure on local families who rely on food assistance and donated groceries.
