Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on September 11, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Markos! Another year older and wiser—but still blogging like a champ. From launching Daily Kos to shaking up political discourse with your sharp wit and fearless commentary, you've proven that keyboards can indeed be mightier than swords (and far less messy).

Your insightful contributions at The Hill have kept Washington on its toes—no small feat in today's wild news cycle. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching politicians squirm under the spotlight of your incisive analysis.

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—and may your Wi-Fi always stay strong!
