It’s the Friday news roundup! Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Thomas Fitzgerald, transportation reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Meir Rinde, investigative reporter at Billy Penn. They discuss why the conservative school board group Moms for Liberty is hosting a summit in Philly this weekend, the new temporary lanes on I-95, and some alternative walking tours in the city that explore more than just colonial history.
