Katie Price opened up about her relationship with Paul Brunson on Paul Brunson’s podcast.

And I’ll always be able to support Katie. She has gone through a lot. I believe the saddest part is that women don’t give enough support to women. We ought to straighten each other’s crowns. Katie would never give up, but she does. She continues. She continues to fight, and it deserves praise.

Katie’s rep told the Mirror last week that the couple was still very close and “going on as usual.” The Pricey made a cryptic statement about her relationship on Married At First Sight’s most recent podcast, according to Married At First Sight’s founder Paul C. Brunson.

When Paul told her to feel “free” and “happy” with a partner, she responded, “I’ve never had that in any relationship.” none at all.

“And JJ, who is the most kind, sincere, outgoing, and chilled.” Do I feel most happy and content, though? No. Maybe that’s what I need to change for myself since it doesn’t reflect on him.

According to Paul, who is one of the Married At First Sight UK experts, you need some time to yourself because you have to experience freedom for yourself.

Katie said, “Freedom to me is like taking my kids to Thailand for a month, with just me and them.” We experienced freedom. Little life experiences, just small glimpses of things, and small adventures.

The OnlyFans star, who has three marriages, then said, “I just don’t want to answer anyone; I want them to fit in with me.”

She continued, “When you meet someone, it’s natural to want to be with them all the time,” in response to her concerns for her relationship with JJ. You’re with them forever, so why are the mistakes I’ve made in the past? Because I’ve never been out with someone who worked a nine to five job, it literally turns to 24/7.

They have always had a job where, I suppose, it’s adaptable that they take me. So, initially, that’s all right, but eventually you start to dislike them because you spend a lot of time with them, and you end up with them because you become so used to them that when you say, “I’m going to see a friend,” it doesn’t seem appropriate because you haven’t done it. I’m a little concerned that JJ and I have something like that.

In her most recent podcast with her sister Sophie, Katie admitted that the reality star was “The One” despite her reservations about spending too much time with JJ.

The couple’s relationship hasn’t always been smooth, though, as his future brother-in-law took a rough ride from him. The former Married at First Sight contestant. married to Sophie Brooks, Katie’s sister.

Emmerdale’s Danny Miller addresses new baby’s gender with ‘the best’ comment

Danny Miller, a popular soap star and I’m A Celebrity star, discusses the drama on the Dales, how to become a father again, and some hidden jungle secrets.

Danny, the “bad cop,” is eager to welcome a new child.

Life looks set to become even more hectic for busy actor Danny Miller, who is best known for playing troubled Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale – a firm fan favourite since he joined the Yorkshire soap back in 2008. Last month, the 34-year-old, who has a son, Albert, three, and a daughter, Edith, one, with wife Steph Jones, revealed on Instagram they are expecting baby number three.

Here, Danny, who won I’m A Celebrity in 2021, talks exclusively to new about parenthood – including why they have no intention of fining out if it’s a boy or a girl., exciting updates in the Dales – which see Aaron and John Sugden’s big day thrown into chaos when John’s past catches up with him, amid the sudden reappearance of his ex – and his dream role…

Danny and his wife Steph’s life is about to become significantly more chaotic.

Danny, you’re going to start raising kids once more. Congratulations!

I appreciate it! The final three, and probably the last one, is unquestionably the magic number! We are excited because it’s so difficult for us to get to where we’re going and because our family lives a few hours away. Already, we have two stunning kids. We just seem to be bringing the family together.

Do you possess gender information?

Continue reading the article.

No, we never actually learn. We prefer surprises. This is the best kind of natural surprise you can find because there aren’t many left over in life.

Do you feel prepared for a household that is even busier?

It’s definitely a bit unknown because we’ve never had three children before. With two to look after and a newborn, we are aware of the difficulties. You just have to get involved.

Has your father’s work style changed since then?

Really, no. Even when it means working long hours or traveling, Steph is so patient. She holds the fort incredibly well despite the fact that we work it out together and are more discerning about what makes sense.

Aaron and John’s big day is thrown into chaos on the Dales, which is dramatic.

Are you guilty about skipping for a long period of time?

Of course. That guilt would be felt by any parent. You forget the good times. However, you still get a lot of pictures and videos thanks to camera phones. It’s about being fully present when I’m at home; work is tomorrow. The family is always first.

Would you like your children to pursue acting?

I’ll back whatever they decide to do. Albert is very imaginative; he enjoys dancing and performing. Edith also follows him around. I admire how special a bond they share, and I love how they behave. We’ll be completely in their favor, whatever they decide.

Which parent, you or Steph, is stricter?

Me! I’m not sure if this is outdated thinking, but I think dads frequently exercise the “bad cop” in terms of authority and discipline. It’s about maintaining balance.

In Emmerdale, everything is happening. When you read the wedding script, how did you feel?

It’s one of our special episodes, to be sure. More of our exploration is now than ever. Because it was created entirely from John’s imagination, it is really intriguing. You must find ways to make soap weddings feel new because there are so many. It’s a lot of fun and three days long, but there’s also drama and angst. The wild side of soap weddings is always present!

What’s it like to contribute to the development of television history?

It sounds much more important when you put it like that! But yeah, it’s nice. It’s always great to push the boundaries and explore new ways of storytelling, especially with so much brilliant TV out there now on Netflix, Amazon, and the rest. ITV and ITVX are trying to keep up, and we’re here for it.

In the Im A Celeb jungle in 2021, Danny triumphed.

How do you and the cast let go of the intense scenes that you’ve captured?

Although our cast is amiable, there isn’t always time for socializing during busy editing. After the conclusion of this storyline, we returned to the neighborhood pub where we had raised a glass and had a drink. We frequently laugh at little things while filming.

You won I’m A Celeb in 2021. What aspects of the show did you find enjoyable, and what lacked?

I detested the monotony. There is only so much to talk about, even with great people. I enjoyed revealing Danny’s true identity to people, not just Aaron, the person I portray. Being myself on a show I’ve loved since I was a child was an incredible feeling. It appeared to be a significant accomplishment.

Was there any unobserved in the background madness?

Not that I’ve not authorized an NDA for! You get what you see. They typically report anything significant. The only surprise is how small the food portions are. You can’t believe how little rice and beans you receive. No condiments, of course, was a plus.

What would be your ideal television show?

This City Is Ours is a collaboration between my friends James Nelson-Joyce and Jack McMullen. It would be a dream come true to be an underworld gangster. But I’m content with where I am right now.

Would you do Celebrity Big Brother?

I’m not sure, to be honest. I wasn’t sure I could do that all day because I saw the challenge in the previous series where everyone dressed as cats. But never declare never. You might be asked to appear on these shows at times and knock on the door.

Man Utd, DJing and Fred the tortoise – meet Sam Cook

Getty Images/ECB
  • 19 Comments

There is a problem with Sam Cook.

It’s likely that his career’s high point will be on Thursday morning. The Essex seamer, who has been a top domestic cricket player for a while, makes his Test debut in England. It is long overdue, in my opinion, plenty.

Wednesday night would typically serve as a relaxing retreat, where Zimbabweans could focus their energies on the batterers and anticipate awe from the crowd at Trent Bridge. One of Cook’s biggest passions will be securing something from their miserable season, which is troublesome because Bilbao will be the center of his attention.

As an Essex-based Manchester United fan, I hear it frequently. According to Cook, “Glory hunter this and that,” It began when David Beckham was at the height of his abilities when I was very young.

I joined United in 2002 and 2003 as he left for Real Madrid. My parents initially believed that I would pack it in and lend my support to someone else, but my brother Jack and I persevered.

As soon as the cricketing schedule allows, Cook and Jack will drive to Old Trafford together. His teammate Josh Tongue, a fellow England acquifer and fan, might play for United in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

According to Cook, “watching United will make me more anxious and emotionally than I will watching cricket.” I’d like to think that cricket can keep things fairly level, but football is a completely different animal.

It “plays on various emotions. I’ll put myself through it even though it probably wouldn’t be the best way to unwind the night before a game.

As a boy, Cook fell in love with cricket and eventually fell in love with it. He was typical age when the Ashes of 2005 were exposed to and inspired him, at 27.

He is now finally getting the chance to take his county cricket prolific wicket-taking game to the next level.

In other circumstances, James Anderson and Stuart Broad, the late masters of international relations, had already paved the way for international recognition, but in recent years, they have turned to other sources because of the selection process in England. There has only been room in the attack for one bowler, Cook, whose main interests are accuracy and movement. Chris Woakes has been injured, opening the door.

An England cap will be the next step for Cook as he continues his downward spiral that began with his brother Jack bowling in the garden. For Maldon, Alastair Cook’s former club, father Steve “nursed a few with the bat and bowled some medium-pace,” while Jack was “probably more talented” and is now Essex’s team analyst.

From Writtle Cricket Club to Chelmsford Cricket Club, where Cook can still play when necessary. He made his first-class debut at Loughborough University, which is now a rare entry into a profession that is increasingly being attended by students from private schools.

Former Essex bowling coach Mick Lewis claims that Cook enjoys a discussion after reading about history and international relations at Loughborough. There is a lot going on in France, Australia, and America. He will ask his readers’ opinions on any news headlines that come up in the news, Lewis says.

Cook also experimented with his other love-house music at Loughborough.

“That’s my secret passion on the side, not something I express in public.” He claims that if you had visited Loughborough between 2016 and 2018, you might have witnessed some of it on the stage.

“I do enjoy DJ culture and dance music. I’m still in complete control at home.

Cook’s household, which includes his pet tortoise, is now the only audience.

At 70 or so years old, Cook asserts, “He’s going strong.” He’s my “hero,” running around the garden and going out of hibernation.

The most recent winter for Cook marked his first major international appearance. Few would have blamed him if he had stopped trying and chasing the money in short-form leagues because he has been overlooked for so long.

He was one of the standout performers on a similarly disappointing tour but instead declined to play “a few bits of franchise stuff” for England Lions in Australia. Cook took 13 wickets in his final three games, which is a handy indication of his skill with the Kookaburra ball in an Ashes year.

He says, “I made the right decision to join the Lions and demonstrate my potential in Australia.” My passion for international cricket has increased as a result.

Cook’s inclusion demonstrates how the Test team can still benefit from England’s changing selection practices.

He probably should have been most aggravated last summer, when Josh Hull, who is incredibly green, had an opportunity to play golf after Mark Wood suffered a broken leg. If a replacement for Woakes had been required, England’s director of cricket Rob Key explained that the decision was based on different types of bowling. Cook would have been in the frame. Cook therefore had to wait a little bit longer.

According to Cook, “I just wanted to know what they wanted to see me doing.” I was simply trying to figure out how to improve rather than make a fuss or groan.

Never did it happen when someone said, “We don’t think you’re quick enough.” It was all about improving my pace and honing my skills, and a lot of it was due to the fact that the bowlers in front were better, which is true for bowlers like Jimmy and Broady.

So Cook enters the Tests determined, confident in his game, and, in his opinion, “in a better position than if I was chosen a year or two ago.”

He will give England control and accuracy at his best. One of his key abilities is to hold his length. More than 77% of his Championship deliveries have been on a good length, which is comfortably the highest proportion of top 10 seamers, over the past five years.

The former Australia seamer who is currently a member of Yorkshire’s coaching staff, Lewis, states, “It is not what the ball does but where it does it does it from that counts.” He consistently questions batsmen and places the ball in the right areas.

Batsmen either make poor decisions or make poor shot selection. One of those two options is given to him enough balls to hit. He can hold his length well, but he can’t really shift the ball that way.

The series was renowned for the debut of Anderson, the patron saint of English-style seamers like Cook, 22 years ago when Zimbabwe played a Test in England.

Anderson scored five wickets to complete his bow at Lord’s. Cook had a choice: winning the Europa League or claiming a debut five-for of his own.

Olympic star ‘broken’ by top swim coach’s regime

A former world record-breaking swimmer claims to be “broken” by the harsh regime under the guidance of one of the UK’s most successful swimming coaches.

Rta Meilutyt, who won gold at the 2012 London Olympics, claimed Jon Rudd’s emphasis on calorie counting and swimmers’ diets contributed to her struggle with eating disorders and depression.

12 ex-swimmers have told us they had been bullied, given a toxic training environment, and given a controlling food culture at one of the UK’s elite swimming teams when he was in charge.

During his 28-year membership at Plymouth Leander swimming club, Rudd was accused of bullying and verbal abuse, but the governing body of the sport has since discovered no such allegations.

We have determined that the governing body, Swim England, did not comply with a classified 2012 investigation that recommended that Rudd be suspended after 17 witnesses gave evidence about his behavior.

Andy Salmon, the new head of Swim England, expressed his deep regret for the swimmers in Plymouth and for all those who were harmed by the governing body’s failings, saying he did not understand why Rudd had not been suspended.

After Rudd established itself as a club that produced Olympic athletes, Plymouth Leander attracted aspiring swimmers from all over the world.

Between 1989 and 2017, he served as the head coach, overseeing the success of the swimmers as well as taking care of their well-being.

Antony James, who won silver at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and represented Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, was one of Plymouth Leander’s most successful swimmers. In February, he raped two women at the club and was imprisoned for 21 years.

Three Plymouth Leander instructors claimed Rudd, who had coached James since he was eight years old, should have known that he was interested in younger girls.

No one could dispute James’ behavior because of his former girlfriend, who is also an ex-swimmer, and how well known he was for mixing with young teenage girls.

Everyone was aware that he wasn’t trying to hide anything he was doing, she said, and it was completely out there and transparent.

She claims she was a “gateway” to his grooming of younger girls when he started dating at age 16 and he was 22 when they first started dating.

Rudd was a coach at Plymouth Leander until 2010 when R. T. Meilutyte, a Lithuanian, relocated to the UK to take his place.

Headshot of Rūta Meilutytė, who is looking straight at the camera with a serious expression on her face. She has shoulder-length, straight blonde hair, with a long fringe. She wears a white round-necked t-shirt and is pictured in a kitchen.

She recalls Rudd making crude remarks about her weight, which she now recalls.

When she told him that she had been eating too much and losing weight, he laughed and said, “Well, at least you get the calories out.”

She claimed that Rudd did approach her for assistance once he realized what she had said.

She also described him as being “fat” moments before a significant competition at the age of 16.

Meilutyt said Rudd’s regime “made me for a while and then it broke me” despite being hailed as the club’s most successful swimmer.

In 2017, she left Plymouth Leander. In the same year, Rudd’s career increased significantly, becoming Swim Ireland’s director of performance swimming.

Headshot of Cassie, who is looking at the camera with a serious expression. She has long, straight, dark hair and black-rimmed glasses. She is wearing a navy jacket and colourful scarf, and is pictured outdoors on a sunny day with a river behind her.

Olympic bronze medalist Cassie Patten was one of the 11 swimmers who made allegations to Panorama about Rudd. She claimed that the coach had forced her to work while she was recovering from shoulder surgery and that this ultimately led to the end of her career in 2011.

Phoebe Lenderyou, a Commonwealth Youth medalist, claimed that Panorama Rudd’s treatment had worsened her eating disorder.

Despite mounting evidence that Rudd had suffered harm and the recommendation from the 2012 report that he be suspended for four months, CEO Andy Salmon, who has led Swim England since February 2024, confirmed to the BBC that no action was taken against him.

Without a tip-off from the BBC in 2023, the report would still have remained a secret. Rudd was said to have been the subject of a lengthy investigation, but none of the complainants were informed of the outcome.

After the BBC inquired about it, Swim England reviewed his case.

Lindsay Trimmings, Rudd’s assistant coach, should also have been given a suspension, according to the original investigation. Swim England later appointed her as its head of coaching, but she resigned in 2023. She stated in a letter to Panorama that she did not want to respond.

The governing body announced it would review 1,500 safeguarding cases that were conducted throughout England between 2002 and 2022 as a result of the flawed investigation into Rudd in 2012.

After the BBC first shared several swimmers’ accounts of abuse in 2023, Swim England decided to create a listening report into all aquatic sports. The governing body’s report, which was released in 2024, revealed a future-threatening culture of fear at every level of the sport.

The club was “fundamentally different” from when Rudd was in charge, according to Plymouth Leander, who stated that it was “deeply concerned by the nature and severity” of the allegations made by Panorama. Additionally, it stated that it had “completely reviewed” its safeguarding practices and procedures to ensure “the safest possible environment.”

According to the statement, Rudd’s employer, Plymouth College, was in charge of “oversight and jurisdiction.”

The club, which is currently under different ownership, claimed it was “deeply concerned” to hear these swimmers’ testimonials from Plymouth Leander.

Royal Wolverhampton School Swimming Club, another renowned institution in the sport, has also been the subject of bullying, according to BBC Panorama’s investigation into last year.

The parents of 11 swimmers filed complaints about the club’s head coach, David Painter, in the years 2023 and 2024.

Abby, a 17-year-old swimmer, claimed to be forced to choose between swimming and studying because Painter wouldn’t let her take any breaks while she was studying for her GCSEs.

She claimed that despite being told she would still have to train the morning before exams, she was also told to do so at a different school close to her home.

Abby told Panorama that she was failing at school, and that “at the end I was literally having full blown panic attacks.” She ultimately made the decision to quit the sport.

Former club welfare officer Alison Hickman claimed 11 parents who complained about Painter to Swim England were not contacted by the governing body. She told the BBC that none of them had been.

Swim England claimed to have contacted the school to resolve the issues.

Complaints were reportedly kept private, according to The Royal Wolverhampton School. According to the statement, the school “has clear safeguarding procedures” and “every formal complaint is investigated promptly and appropriately.”

Joel Dommet’s wife Hannah Cooper gives rare insight into baby’s personality that contradicts his name

As model Hannah admits they have “in-built entertainment” at home, husband Joel Dommett and son Wilde have a rare insight into family life.

With husband Joel Dommett and their son Wilde, Hannah Cooper-Dommett has a unique insight into family life.

It’s fair to say that Hannah Cooper-Dommett’s life has looked rather different since she and husband Joel Dommett welcomed their first child, Wilde, back in 2023. But as the model chats exclusively with OK!, she says she’s finally striking that balance between motherhood and “me time”.

Nothing can prepare you for becoming a mother, they say. You just don’t know who you are going to be or what you’re going to be like until the baby is born, Hannah, 35, says as we ask about the roller-coaster ride with little Wilde, who will be two in September. I read so many books and all of this stuff.

Praising her comedian husband, Hannah continues, “It’s so great with Joel doing the job that he does because he actually can be around a lot more than we originally thought. It’s great to be able to be with someone that you can tag team with and you can pass the baby to, essentially. We have that open communication, because otherwise I think it can be quite overwhelming.”

The couple met on social media in 2016, when Hannah dropped Joel, 39, an Instagram DM, and they’ve been smitten ever since. They tied the knot in a gorgeous beachfront ceremony in Mykonos three years later, and welcoming baby Wilde into the fold was a natural next step for them.

Hannah acknowledges that she wasn’t sure what to expect from Joel as a parent, but the TV personality has far outperformed her expectations. It’s so heartfelt to see them interacting. They are her best friend, she exclaims. “It’s very fortunate to have him around. We always get to have breakfast together and enjoy that morning time, which is undoubtedly our family time because he works in the evenings and performs on tours and nights.

When you first meet someone, you start to look them in the eye and ask, “Do I find them attractive or funny?” Then you sort of say, “Oh, I want to marry this guy? ” But I don’t believe you personally consider yourself to be as ahead of the curve with the question, “What are they going to be like as a father?” You don’t consider it, but I’m so thankful for his outstanding parenting. He simply adores it. He was born with the ability to do this, in my opinion.

The best part about her husband is that he’s a built-in entertainer for their tot, Hannah jokes. “It’s really great because I’ve literally married a comedian, so I’m sorted for kids’ parties and all of that stuff. It’s like, ‘I’m sure we can nab a Masked Singer outfit and make a theme out of that,” she laughs.

There’s never a dull moment in the Dommett household. Indeed, Hannah’s famous husband even managed to make light of his collapse during the recent London Marathon after he fainted at mile 17. He woke up in an ambulance, but was able to finish the race after a few hours’ rest, later joking on social media, “I was the first person in the ambulance tho. That’s a win!”

Hannah reveals that unlike Joel’s wise-cracking energy, she finds herself quite at ease in her relationship, and that Wilde’s so far “the best of the two” is her personality. I’m not sure if I’m happy about this, but I’d say he’s been more reserved than irrational. For sure, you can see both of us in him. He’s a little more watchful than I am; he’ll undoubtedly observe before sort of going for things, but Joel’s crazier side of coming through, the more advanced he becomes.

Not just busy with mum life, Hannah is back at work with her and Joel’s popular podcast, Never Have I Ever, as well as releasing a new fashion range with online department store Debenhams. Describing the podcast – in which the pair act on out-there suggestions from each other and their listeners – as a form of therapy, Hannah hails it as one of the reasons she and Joel have such a strong bond.

“I think it’s become part of our life now, especially recording from home. It means that we’re definitely at our most comfortable. We probably say too much that we regret, but it’s essentially a time for us to catch up weekly and have that two-hour window where we can just see what each other has been up to,” Hannah explains. “I save up all my troubles from that week and lay them out on the podcast.

Hannah Cooper and Joel Dommett podcast
Never Have I Ever was hosted by Hannah and Joel, and the model claims that Joel surprised her by being a hands-on, natural father.

“I think it has undoubtedly helped us figure out our relationship’s dynamic and made people feel comfortable with us as a couple. Although it feels more like a therapy session than a podcast, I believe that’s really healthy. Do we need to broadcast it to tens of thousands of people each week? She giggles and says “probably not.”

After a busy time, Hannah’s Warehouse Summer Solstice Collection, her second release with the label, has given her some much-needed “me time” after a busy period, and it’s obvious that the project has given her a newfound spring in her step.

You do enter this hazy place during your first year of parenthood, and motherhood in particular. I was like, “Oh wow, well that was a whirlwind,” until Wilde was around one. But now that he’s a little older, and I have time to focus on things like Warehouse, and engage in these fun activities that will make my career more rewarding, Hannah says.

Because I’m in a position where I’m very particular about which brands I work with and who I want to work with because time is so scarce, I suppose that’s why this collection means a lot more now than at any other time in my life. The collection is much more thoughtful and passionate than ever.

Hannah claims that over the years, her own style has changed. She acknowledges that she is attempting to look cool as a mother. This collection really makes me look more cool than I actually am, in my opinion. I was undoubtedly wearing more shorts and short skirts in the past. However, when designing this collection, I considered more comfortable pieces even when designing. However, that doesn’t imply mamsy and dowdy.

She continues, “I feel so honored that Warehouse and the Debenhams team believe in me and accept my crazy ideas.” This is a total “pinch-me” moment.

Trump’s massive tax cut bill passes key US House committee vote

A crucial congressional committee has approved President Donald Trump’s comprehensive tax-cut bill, which could lead to its passage in the House of Representatives later this week.

After hardline Republican conservatives on Friday blocked the bill from passing the House Budget Committee due to a budget dispute involving the repeal of green energy tax credits and spending cuts to the Medicaid healthcare program for low-income Americans, Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are now in a big win.

The committee’s 21 Republicans, which included four hardline members, approved the legislation by casting a “present” vote. All Democrats cast ballots against the bill, which was approved by 17-16.

The hardliners had largely engaged in inside-the-box discussions with White House officials and House Republicans.

Soon before the meeting, Johnson told reporters that the modifications were “just some minor modifications.” Not particularly important.

Republican House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington predicted that discussions would continue into the week, “right up until the House is given this enormous, beautiful bill.”

According to nonpartisan analysts, the bill would add $ 3 trillion to $ 5 trillion to the $ 36.2% national debt over the next ten years, extending the tax cuts that were Trump’s signature first-term legislative victory.

Moody’s downgraded the US’s credit rating on Friday, citing the rising debt, which it said was on track to reach 134 percent of GDP by 2035.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed that the bill would encourage enough economic growth to offset any debt growth, adding that Moody’s downgrade was not given much weight.

Following previous downgrades by Fitch Ratings and S&amp, P, economic experts have warned that the downgrade indicates that the US has too much debt and that lawmakers need to either increase spending or reduce spending.

Republicans in the House are divided over how much spending will be cut to make up for the cost of the tax cuts, with a majority of 220-213.

Republicans’ backers say Medicaid cuts would hurt the very voters who voted for Trump in November, and that they will need in 2026, when control of Congress is once again at stake.

8.6 million people would be omitted from Medicaid as a result of the bill’s cuts.

Additionally, it aims to boost defense spending and increase funding for Trump’s border crackdown, as promised in his campaign promises, while lowering taxes on tips and some overtime income.

The cut in credit ratings, according to Democratic US Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, caused problems for Americans.

“That’s a really big deal,” she said. That implies that the economy is likely on the verge of a recession, Murphy told NBC’s Meet the Press.
