Winners, losers and grab-bags from House GOP’s narrow passage of ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

With the narrow 215-214 passage of House Republicans’ «Big, Beautiful Bill,» (BBB) there were noted winners and losers, and some entities who felt mixed results from the midnight-oil-burning negotiations and vote.
The House Freedom Caucus (HFC) within the GOP conference appeared to be a key player in BBB talks, as Chairman Andy Harris of Maryland voted «present» while two other HFC members – Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted «nay.»
The HFC was initially very concerned about the bill’s spending levels and how quickly – or not – some of the reduction measures would be implemented.
Ultimately, the HFC won out in terms of shifting Medicaid Work Requirements in the bill to take effect by 2027 rather than the originally-proposed 2029 deadline.
MIKE JOHNSON, DONALD TRUMP GET BIG BEAUTIFUL WIN AS BUDGET BILL PASSES HOUSE
On the other GOP flank, moderates and lawmakers from blue states had expressed concern over the State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT) – which helps Democrat-run state residents lessen their tax burden.
Originally, SALT was capped at $10,000, but the budget bill raised it to $30,000 for individuals earning up to $400,000.
Rep. Michael Lawler, R-N.Y., and other blue-state Republicans clashed with President Donald Trump on the matter – with the president retorting that he knew Lawler’s Rockland County district better than he did.
Lawler was seen as a winner in the budget bill’s passage, as his work – along with Long Island Republicans like Rep. Nick LaLota, secured the deduction for their constituents.
Another blue state Republican, Rep. Andrew Garbarino of New York, was one of two nonvoting members – the other being Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., according to the official roll.
Residents of such high-tax states as New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland and California won out in that respect, ensuring that they would be able to continue to utilize SALT.
Outright winners in the bill were Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., — who saw some version of their original effort come to pass.
Trump also saw his sweeping middle- and upper-class tax cuts preserved from expiration, which in turn rendered debt-and-deficit hawks proverbial losers.

Passage of the bill in the House comes as the national debt currently sits at $36,214,475,432,210.84, according to Fox Business’ National Debt Tracker. The federal deficit will grow by about $2 trillion over 10 years, according to reports, while the tax cuts’ preservation will reduce gross federal revenue.
But Medicaid and SNAP work requirements funding cuts are expected to lessen that blow.
Other winners included illegal immigration hawks, with the bill allocating billions for the Pentagon and for homeland security, including at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Energy interests also won out in the bill’s passage.
The American Petroleum Institute applauded the House for taking another step to «restore American energy dominance.»
«By preserving competitive tax policies, beginning to reverse the ‘methane fee,’ opening lease sales and advancing important progress on permitting, this historic legislation is a win for our nation’s energy future,» the group said in a statement.

Losers included Democratic leadership, as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., saw his caucus vote as a bloc, but with just shy of the partisan force necessary to block the bill.
One particularly upset «loser» in the bill’s passage was House Homeland Security Committee ranking member Bennie Thompson of Mississippi.
«You can’t shovel s—t and call it sugar,» Thompson fumed in a Thursday statement.
«This horrific bill is one of the most shameful grifts I have ever seen played on the American public,» he added.
Abortion providers also lost out via the bill, as it reportedly bans Medicaid disbursements to Planned Parenthood for one year, which could lead to decreased revenue for such organizations.
Opponents of SALT, including members of the HFC also essentially lost out, given the fact the deduction remained intact and was somewhat bolstered.
The bill’s slashing of green energy tax credits also renders that particular corporate sector – including wind, solar and EV concerns – another potential loser in the BBB.

$30K in migrant housing aid has Dem gov on hot seat for ‘revolving door’ policy

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While she is shutting down her sanctuary state’s migrant shelters, critics are accusing Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey of simply shifting the costs over to a program that makes migrants eligible to receive at least $30,000 in housing assistance over two years.
The Boston Herald reported in June that the Healey administration had increased spending in Massachusetts’ HomeBASE program to $97 million in 2025, up from $9.5 million in 2022, according to state data.
The outlet reported that eligible families in the Massachusetts-run shelter system were being provided with $30,000 in rental assistance over two years. According to the Herald, the total caseload for HomeBASE increased under Healey from 1,473 in January 2023 to 7,767 in April 2025, more than a 400 percent increase. The outlet also said that some eligible families could qualify for an additional $15,000 in a third year of assistance but that state officials planned to pause third year assistance in July.
After that report, Massachusetts GOP Chair Amy Carnevale commented that the HomeBASE program amounted to being «shelters by another name.»

«Taxpayers are giving migrant families nearly limitless free rental assistance. Meanwhile, federal action means these families won’t be receiving work permits anytime soon,» she went on, adding, «The migrant shelter crisis is not over, and cost-shifting is not leadership.»
This month, Healey announced the closure of all remaining hotel shelters in the Bay State amid the formal termination of her executive emergency focused on the state’s Biden-era migrant influx.
In a statement emailed to Fox News Digital, Carnevale said that «friends, favors, and failures continue to emerge even as she declares that the migrant crisis is over.»
«Healey should rip off the Band-Aid and tell the public whether these same oversights are occurring in the HomeBASE program,» she continued.

«The abuse of taxpayer dollars, coupled with a stunning lack of oversight by Maura Healey and her administration, will define her legacy as governor.»
Meanwhile, Jon Fetherston, a former Massachusetts migrant shelter director who blew the whistle about rampant crime and abuse taking place in the system, commented that «instead of creating stability, HomeBase has become a revolving door of short-term rental assistance.»
He said that because migrants often spend the bulk of their $30,000 on upfront costs, many become unable to sustain their housing within months.
«The Healey Administration’s expansion of the HomeBASE program was sold to the public as a solution, one that would save money, reduce shelter dependence, and help migrant families become self-sufficient. But the reality is far different,» he explained. «HomeBASE is now a bloated, mismanaged program that’s failing both the taxpayers who fund it and the migrants it claims to help.»

«HomeBASE, in its current form, is a broken promise,» he said. «Taxpayers are footing a nearly $100 million bill with little transparency, no measurable outcomes and no end in sight. The promise of savings from closing hotel shelters is being quietly replaced with backdoor spending that still lacks accountability.

«This isn’t a hand-up; it’s a setup for failure.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Healey’s office for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Viajó a Turquía con su hijo y terminó con 40 puntos en la cabeza: «Pensé que me moría»

Lo que prometía ser unas vacaciones soñadas en la costa turca se transformó en una pesadilla para Fia Lane, una joven madre británica de 30 años. El accidente no solo la dejó con graves heridas físicas, sino que también impactó de lleno en su hijo Kairo, de apenas 7 años, que presenció todo y aún no logra superar el trauma.
Todo comenzó en agosto de 2023, cuando Fia viajó desde Ealing, West London, junto a Kairo, su hermana menor Mischa-Leigh (18) y su madre Cathy (54) para visitar a su tía Diane en Fethiye, una ciudad portuaria sobre la famosa Costa Turquesa de Turquía.

El primer día transcurrió entre playa y cenas familiares. Pero al día siguiente, la tragedia golpeó de lleno.
Un paseo en cuatriciclo que terminó en horror
La mañana arrancó tranquila, con un chapuzón en la pileta del complejo donde vivía Diane. Después, Fia y Mischa-Leigh decidieron dar una vuelta en el cuatriciclo de la tía, algo habitual entre los residentes de la zona.
Sin casco y vestidas con ropa liviana, salieron a recorrer las calles internas del barrio. “Nunca me preocupé por el casco en esas calles tranquilas”, reconoció Fia.
Pero en segundos, todo cambió. Un gato se cruzó en el camino y Mischa-Leigh, al intentar esquivarlo, apretó el acelerador en vez del freno. El cuatriciclo volcó y Fia salió despedida, golpeando la cabeza contra el asfalto y perdiendo el conocimiento.
“Cuando desperté, no podía ver nada. Sentía que me moría”, relató. Una mujer que pasaba por ahí la asistió mientras Fia solo pensaba en su hijo: “¿Dónde está mi bebé?”. Kairo, que había visto todo, gritaba desesperado: “¿Mi mamá está muerta?”.

Heridas, miedo y una cuenta pendiente
La ambulancia llegó rápido, pero antes de trasladarlas al hospital, pidieron los pasaportes. Mischa-Leigh, que se había aferrado al cuatriciclo, solo sufrió un corte profundo en el brazo. Fia, en cambio, tenía el brazo derecho completamente inmovilizado, la cabeza sangrando y un dolor insoportable.
En el hospital, los médicos le diagnosticaron luxación de hombro, le dieron puntos en el pie y le realizaron 40 puntos de sutura en el cuero cabelludo y la frente. Todo esto, mientras Fia caía en la cuenta de un error clave: había olvidado contratar seguro de viaje.

“Siempre sacaba seguro, incluso con cobertura para cuatriciclos. Esta vez, se me pasó”, lamentó. El costo de la atención médica fue de 400 libras para ella y 15 puntos para su hermana, una suma que podría haber sido mucho mayor.
El impacto emocional en su hijo y la recuperación
A pesar del dolor, Fia decidió quedarse el resto de las vacaciones para que Kairo pudiera reemplazar el recuerdo del accidente por momentos más felices. Pero el pequeño no pudo superar el susto: “Me abrazaba todo el tiempo y me preguntaba si estaba bien”.

De regreso en Londres, Fia tuvo que mudarse con su madre durante tres meses porque no podía valerse por sí misma. Nuevos estudios revelaron que, además de la luxación, tenía el brazo fracturado y el hombro desalineado. Ahora espera fisioterapia y no descarta una cirugía.
Kairo, por su parte, sigue marcado por lo vivido. “No quiere volver a Turquía. Si le menciono visitar a Diane, me dice que ni loco”, contó Fia. “Todavía habla del accidente y temo que nunca olvide haberme visto así”. Fia Lane decidió compartir su historia para advertir a otros viajeros. (Foto: The Sun).
El consejo de Fia: “Nunca subestimen los riesgos”
Fia Lane decidió compartir su historia para advertir a otros viajeros: “Siempre revisen que tengan seguro de salud completo, sobre todo si van a hacer actividades de riesgo. Yo tuve suerte de que la cuenta no fuera más alta”.
Y dejó una última reflexión: “Jamás volvería a subirme a un cuatriciclo sin casco. Son máquinas pesadas y peligrosas. Pagué caro por un rato de diversión, pero podría haber sido mucho peor”.
