He moved side-to-side before falling to the ground and started pumping like Hingle McCringleberry from the “Key and Peele” skit.Baron Browning celebrations remain incredible. #EasyToCelebrate x @budlight pic.twitter.com/wtxWE0pZLz— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) October 29, 2023Safety Justin Simmons said Browning has similar traits to edge rusher Von Miller. While Browning has a long way to go to match the 8-time Pro Bowler’s sack numbers, his celebrations are just as creative and unique.“You can tell he’s having fun while playing,” defensive lineman Matt Henningsen told The Denver P...

Moody’s warns the US its AAA credit rating is in danger

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:13:21 GMT

By Elisabeth Buchwald | CNNThe United States is one step closer to losing its last perfect credit rating after Moody’s Investors Service changed the outlook of the nation’s debt to negative on Friday after markets closed.While the move does not automatically mean it will downgrade America’s creditworthiness, it increases the chances.Even the prospect of a US downgrade could hurt Americans’ investment portfolios, make it even more expensive for them to borrow money, and make it more costly for the government to pay off its debts.These effects would likely be even more painful if Moody’s does eventually downgrade the US debt.The nation’s diminished fiscal strength, undone by extreme partisanship in Washington, was a key driver of the action, according to a statement from Moody’s.”In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody’s expects that the US’ fiscal deficits will remain very large, signi...
