Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on February 13, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Senator Richard Blumenthal! From your days as Connecticut's steadfast Attorney General to serving in the U.S. Senate since 2011, you've tackled tough issues with unwavering determination—and somehow managed to keep a straight face through countless committee hearings.

Whether you're grilling tech CEOs or advocating tirelessly for veterans' rights and consumer protections, you always bring passion (and occasionally some memorable eyebrow raises) into every debate. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer filibusters and more cake—because even senators deserve sweet victories!

Cheers to another year of fighting the good fight while keeping politics interestingly entertaining. Happy Birthday!
