The Trump administration is preparing to implement a sweeping and controversial overhaul of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps — an action officials describe as part of a broader effort to increase program integrity and eliminate what they characterize as widespread abuse.

At the center of this initiative is a major requirement announced by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: millions of low-income Americans will be required to reapply for food-stamp benefits, regardless of whether they are already enrolled, have been long-term recipients, or have recently completed eligibility reviews at the state level.

Rollins outlined the plan during an interview on Newsmax, framing it as a necessary step to restore confidence in how federal taxpayer dollars are used.She said she plans plans to “have everyone reapply for their benefits, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through … food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

Rollins has recalled that on the day she took office, she sent a letter to all 50 states saying that the federal government had never asked for the data before, but that it now needed the personal data, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and addresses, of SNAP recipients. She said on X that she sent the letter “so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families,” adding, “The Democrat Party has turned its back on working Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose 20+ seats after the next census.”

“29 states — mostly the red states — responded with their data sets, February, March, April; so the numbers that you’re talking through, those are numbers that we have been collecting and analyzing since early summer/late spring,” she said. “The fact that this spotlight shined on SNAP has allowed us to talk about it. But here’s the most unbelievable news I have [learned] really just over the last few days: That 5,000 dead people, that was just one month; the number is closer to 186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”

The administration argues that this mass reapplication process is essential to combating what it calls systemic fraud and error in SNAP. By reprocessing the entire recipient population, officials say they hope to remove ineligible participants, strengthen data accuracy, and reduce government spending.

By placing the mandatory reapplication requirement at the center of the reforms, the administration seeks to redefine SNAP as a program reserved only for those who can clearly demonstrate acute need, reflecting a broader shift toward stricter eligibility enforcement.

The war to keep men who believe they are women out of women’s locker rooms found an unlikely fighter this month: a lesbian gym rat from Los Angeles who has run into so many men in the women’s locker room she’s screaming about it at the top of her lungs.

In the video that has more than 18 million views on X, Hyman was getting kicked out of her gym after complaining about men invading her privacy in the locker room. She told The Daily Wire that the now-viral outburst was her last chance to tell other ladies at the gym what was going on before she was banished.

“That moment was me trying to warn the ladies in the gym,” Hyman told The Daily Wire. “I didn’t know it would warn ladies around the world.”

“I knew I wasn’t going to be there anymore to warn the girls, so I just yelled out. I’m not usually that loud and disruptive, but this was the only way that I could warn the ladies in that gym. You have young ladies in there just being traumatized.”

One of the men traumatizing Hyman in the locker room was Grant Freeman, and he was certainly worth a warning label. He’s a convicted criminal of domestic assault who slammed his now ex-wife’s head into a toilet seat. Hyman said she’s seen at least seven men in the women’s locker room over the last month, including Freeman, who now identifies as a woman and goes by “Alexis,” on multiple occasions.

Hyman said Freeman was disrupting her daily habit, and that she’d pray that she’d miss him.

“I go to the gym a different time every day. I just pray…please God, don’t let me see him today.” But she did. Her last run-in with Freeman was the most intense, she said.

He is the one with the criminal past, yet Hyman said she was the one escorted out of the gym by police after she raised the alarm.

She didn’t get help from the people she wanted to at the gym, but someone pulled out their phone, took a video, and changed Hyman’s life.

It caught the attention of Riley Gaines, who knows all too well what it’s like to share a locker room with a man. Gaines, who swam at the University of Kentucky, shared a locker room with Lia Thomas, the first openly trans-identifying woman NCAA champion. Gaines has been the leader for keeping trans-identifying women out of women’s sports ever since.

It’s no surprise a repost from Gaines turned into millions of views for Hyman’s video, making the black and lesbian entertainer from the Bronx a new face in the protect women movement.

“The reason why we got here is because we’re not standing in truth. We’re lying to these men and telling them that they’re women.”

Being bold comes naturally for Hyman — she said the “social pressure” others feel has never stopped her from speaking up.

“So when I saw this I was like what is going on? Why is no one speaking about this? Are you crazy? This is dangerous.”

Hyman didn’t think protecting women would come with the amount of internet fame she’s experienced over the last week. Primetime interviews and countless new followers. She said the attention is sometimes “overwhelming,” but worth it to stop people from thinking men and women are interchangeable.

“There are boys and girls. Ladies and gentlemen. You know, dresses and pants,” she said. “It’s okay if you want to swap them, but you don’t have to change who you are physically to do that. And we know that.”

And she wanted to make sure California state lawmaker and hopeful to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House, Scott Weiner, knew the truth too. Hyman flew to San Francisco Monday to question Weiner on his pro-transgender policies.

Hyman was front and center of the room, sitting feet from Weiner. She said she saw the moderator at the event toss her question for Weiner aside, and knew it was time for Hyman to be bold again. She took the mic and asked the question herself.

“What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-identify as women in women-only spaces?” Hyman asked.

Weiner replied in part: “Trans women are women.” When Hyman corrected the senator telling him “trans women are men,” the crowd turned on Hyman. She said men were shouting “boo” toward her and yelling “trans women are women.”

Had a chance to have a conversation with Senator Weiner. It was an honest one. I am hopeful that this is the first of many conversations we will have regarding women’s safety .

Senator Weiner said he likes working with fresh young people and that he is open to ideas.

A room of men telling a woman they can change biology if they want to. She wasn’t backed by a single person in that room, but she kept going.

“No they’re not, they’re men,” she said, in a conversation that never went further than that. She didn’t get the answers she wanted, but she left the room wanting to speak out more.

“I am motivated for change. I can’t be okay until I know that women are protected by law.”

It’s not about politics to Hyman. She said women’s safety should be a nonpartisan issue.

“Don’t let people brainwash you. Undo the brainwashing. We know what pink is for, and we know what blue is for. There’s nothing wrong with the indications and separations here,” Hyman said.

“You’re not women, you’re men, and you should be okay with that.”

Hyman is flying to Minnesota this weekend to meet with another woman who said she had trans-identifying men in an all-women’s prison. There is no way the two would have connected if it wasn’t for Hyman speaking out on the issue, and none of it would be happening if not for the events of the last 10 days.

“This experience has changed my life. It’s extended my purpose, and I am grateful to this experience as traumatic as it has been.”

Hyman is convinced that her side is going to win the fight for common sense.

“Everybody’s gonna get back to normal,” Hyman said. “Once everybody starts telling the truth, and people stop lying to these grown men. We’re lying to these men and telling them that they’re women. That’s how we got here.”

Don’t expect the woman who sings for a living and went viral for screaming at the top of her lungs in the gym to turn down the volume.

“I’m gonna be loud until all women are loud and our voices are heard.”
