Sources close to the development indicate that the surgery was successful, and doctors are closely monitoring his recovery.

Millions of debit cards issued under California’s Middle Class Tax Refund program in 2022 are set to expire on April 30, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars at risk of going unclaimed, according to state records. The looming deadline has raised concerns for consumers who may still have unused balances but face difficulties accessing their funds.
Data from the California Franchise Tax Board shows that only 43% of the distributed cards have been fully used, while approximately 10% have never been activated. That translates to roughly 960,000 cards still holding an estimated $400 million that could revert to the state if not claimed before the expiration date.
Some cardholders report unexpected issues when attempting to use their remaining balances. In certain cases, cards that initially worked were later declined despite having available funds. Attempts to withdraw money at banks have also been unsuccessful for some users, with reports indicating that accounts were inaccessible or cards had been deactivated without clear explanation.
Consumers have described ongoing challenges in resolving these problems through customer service channels. Calls to the program’s card provider, Money Network, have sometimes resulted in long wait times or difficulty reaching assistance. The company’s parent, Fiserv, said in a statement that it is implementing program changes in accordance with California requirements and the Better for Families Act.
State officials note that some cards may be deactivated or funds frozen due to fraud prevention measures. They advise cardholders experiencing issues to contact customer service directly during weekday business hours, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Assistance will only be available through April 30.
With the deadline approaching, officials are urging residents to check for unused cards and confirm balances as soon as possible. Any remaining funds not accessed before expiration could be returned to state lawmakers, underscoring the importance of prompt action for those who may still be eligible to use the money.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping policy shift on Saturday, April 18, aimed at accelerating access to medical research and treatments involving psychedelic drugs. The executive order, signed in the Oval Office, directs the US Food and Drug Administration to expedite the review process for substances such as ibogaine, which some veteran advocacy groups say may help treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
The signing event included federal health officials, advocates, and podcaster Joe Rogan, highlighting growing public and institutional interest in alternative mental health therapies.
Focus on veterans and severe mental illness treatment
Trump said the initiative is designed to “dramatically accelerate access” to experimental therapies that have shown potential in addressing severe mental health conditions. He emphasized that these treatments could be particularly impactful for U.S. military veterans suffering from PTSD and depression.
The order instructs federal agencies to reduce administrative barriers, enhance data sharing between the FDA and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and streamline the process for rescheduling psychedelic substances once they receive regulatory approval.
Funding and expanded access under Right to Try law
As part of the initiative, the federal government will allocate $50 million to support state-level research on ibogaine. The administration is also expanding pathways for patients with critical conditions to access experimental treatments under the Right to Try law enacted during Trump’s first term.
Officials said this approach could allow certain patients to receive psychedelic-based therapies before full FDA approval, provided safety protocols are followed.
Health officials cite urgency of mental health crisis
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. described the executive order as a decisive step in addressing what he called one of the nation’s most pressing public health challenges. He said the policy would remove legal and regulatory barriers that have historically limited research into psychedelic treatments.
Kennedy added that the changes aim to enable scientists, clinicians, and researchers to better study these substances and, where appropriate, develop safe therapeutic protocols for their use in treating mental health conditions.

A gunman opened fire in Kyiv, killing five people and injuring several others, according to Ukrainian officials. The incident unfolded on Saturday when the attacker entered a supermarket and began shooting, triggering a large-scale police response and a tense hostage situation.
Authorities confirmed that the suspect was later killed during a coordinated operation inside the store. Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said the gunman had taken hostages and fired at responding officers during the standoff, complicating efforts to safely resolve the situation. Police ultimately neutralized the attacker while attempting to detain him.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the death toll and said officials were working to establish all circumstances surrounding the attack. He extended condolences to the victims’ families and emphasized that a full investigation is underway.
Live broadcast footage from the scene showed armed police units taking cover inside the shopping complex as gunfire echoed. Civilians in the area were quickly evacuated as emergency responders secured the perimeter and moved to contain the threat.
Officials reported that at least 10 people were hospitalized with injuries and trauma following the attack. Four hostages were rescued during the operation and are receiving support.
Investigators from the National Police of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine are continuing to examine the incident. Authorities said verified updates will be released as more details become available.
