CLAIM: A study published in October 2025 found that vaping products contained bacteria that indicated fecal contamination. RATING: TRUE. The study looked into a specific sample of vaping products in Virginia schools during the 2024-25 school year. It found some of the devices contained traces of coliform - a bacteria that indicates fecal matter contamination. However, these were devices "that had been confiscated or found on school premises," not new, unopened vapes. This indicated that contamination was due to the product's handling and storage. The researchers behind the study confirmed via email that no contamination was found in the unopened products they tested.

President Donald Trump on Sunday said his administration's halt on asylum processing in the wake of the deadly National Guard shooting earlier this week could last "a long time" and floated the possibility of revoking citizenship from some naturalized immigrants with criminal histories. While the administration has framed the asylum freeze as an emergency response to Wednesday's shooting, the president's comments to reporters aboard Air Force One suggest the restrictions could evolve into a longer-term approach.
