Pre-Congressman Jared Huffman, member of the world #1, top-ranked USA Volleyball squad, in a 1987 match against China.
It’s time again for “D.C. Update,” the show in which Humboldt’s Congressman, Jared Huffman, talks with Larry Trask of LoCO sister station KLGE-FM (“The Lounge”) about the issues of the day.
Fun one for politics nerds this week, as Huffman talks about some puzzling behind-the-scenes sausage-making antics. Here’s the rundown:

- Civility in political discourse, the Red Hed incident and the angry man in charge. How should we comport ourselves? Huffman doesn’t claim to have the answers.
- Every year, Huffman says, someone tries to sneak a strange little item into the defense appropriation bill — a mandate that a particular military base in Germany must buy coal from a particular coal mine in Pennsylvania.
