Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on May 13, 1930)

Happy Birthday, Mike Gravel! From shaking up the Senate floor by reading the Pentagon Papers into public record to boldly running for president as a Libertarian in 2008, you've always known how to make politics interesting. Your fearless speeches and memorable debate moments continue to inspire—and occasionally amuse—us all.

Whether serving as Alaska's Speaker of the House or passionately advocating transparency and peace, your legacy remains timelessly relevant. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer filibusters than usual. Cheers to you—a true original who proves that gravel can indeed rock politics!
