February 11, 2026 The (Many) Philadelphians Running for Congress This Year
With the retirement of Congressman Dwight Evans, Philly has an election this year for an open congressional seat, which doesn’t come along very often. That’s why there are at least 10 Democrats vying for the seat in the May primary. The third congressional district covers most of the city and is very blue, making the primary in three months the race to watch. But how are voters supposed to make sense of race with this many candidates? Our political contributor Lauren Vidas joins host Trenae Nuri to sort it all out.

February 04, 2026 City Council is Going After ICE. Here’s How.
City Council acted last week on a package of bills to protect Philadelphia residents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and their operations in the city. The bills ban agents’ use of masks and unmarked vehicles, restrict their ability to operate out of city-owned spaces, and prevent Philadelphia police and other city agencies from assisting with immigration enforcement. Host Trenae Nuri speaks with the bills’ sponsors, Councilmember Rue Landau and Council Minority Leader Kendra Brooks, about the proposals and the fear currently sweeping through the city’s immigrant communities.
