SNAP Benefits in Jeopardy, Smoke Shop Crackdown & Brandon Graham Returns

Listen Later

Thousands of households across Philly could soon have their SNAP benefits pulled due to the federal government shutdown. We're talking about that and the ongoing case of Kada Scott, how City Council is cracking down on smoke shops, and the Eagles welcoming back Brandon Graham. Host Trenae Nuri and producer Abby Fritz discuss these stories and weekend events on this week's Friday news roundup. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • Discovery of Kada Scott’s body at Germantown middle school has reignited debate over the vacant building
  • Due to Federal Shutdown, November SNAP Payments Will Not be Made to Nearly Two Million Pennsylvanians
  • Pa. officials delay LIHEAP because of lack of funding from government shutdown
  • Will SNAP benefits be paid in November?
  • Could unretired Brandon Graham play as soon as Sunday against the Giants?
