Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on March 31, 1940)

Happy Birthday to Barney Frank—the powerhouse legislator who brilliantly navigated Congress with charm, wit, and unparalleled determination! From co-authoring the transformative Dodd-Frank Act that reshaped American finance, to courageously championing LGBTQ+ rights as an openly gay pioneer in politics—your legacy continues to inspire.

Whether it's your fiery congressional speeches or sharp one-liners disarming opponents (and delighting supporters!), you've shown America how strength and humor go hand-in-hand. On your birthday, we celebrate not only another remarkable year but also decades of advocacy that changed lives. Here's wishing you laughter-filled days ahead because Congress is definitely less entertaining without you!
