New case study out: Fulcrum Genomics + Belay Diagnostics. We helped take an ECS pipeline from prototype → CAP/CLIA-ready clinical deployment, with auditability, testing to prevent regressions & cloud architecture fixes that reduced cost + avoided resource exhaustion. 👉

ICYMI: Last week we announced MutSeqR, an open-source R package for error-corrected sequencing analysis, co-authored by our own Clint Valentine with Health Canada and U Ottawa. It brings much-needed standardization to genetic toxicology research. 🧬 🖥️

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those. If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services. We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

Donald Trump gave us a bunch of broken promises—oh, sorry, I mean lies—and now we’re all stuck paying for it. Rule of law is being TRAMPLED, families are being TORN APART, and it's only been a WEEK. Is there a grade lower than an F?

Why did Trump declare a national energy emergency? Simply put, Trump’s declaration aims to accelerate fossil fuel projects on public lands and roll back environmental protections.
