I keep checking cactus for the latest cme launches but nothing has updated since the 12th? 

It seems very strange because the sun has seemingly launched multiple cme's since then.

Does anyone know what is going on?

CACTUS uses LASCO imagery to detect CMES and characterize them. So in my experience, if LASCO doesn’t see it, cactus doesn’t either. 
I see a very small CME that launched from the northeast quadrant around 845 utc this morning - other than that, I haven’t seen any CME’s on LASCO all weekend… 

i could always be wrong 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it is so strange because the 193 angstrom view looks to show all the signs of multiple cme launches in the past 24 hrs (it looked like some filaments lifted as well as some complex flares) and although those don't always mean a cme, it is really strange that lasco has picked up nothing at all since 7/12 when things were much quieter before 7/13.

I found a site that seems to be tracking them better right now and it makes much more sense to me based on the activity we have seen the past 2 days :

Yep, I just noticed the update! Still seems like they must have something going with cactus because It looks like a bunch of small eruptions have been happening that aren't tracked by cactus over the past couple of days.
