Mike Lee engagement report
@BasedMikeLee - 704K followers on X
Measured over 45 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.3K interactions against 704K followers, an engagement rate of 0.326%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 87% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 87K times each, and 2.65% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 12.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 45 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video and 11% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 60K interactions, about 26x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Mike Lee's engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 78% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

Constance Fisher drowned her three children in a bathtub in 1954. Mental hospital. Declared better. Released. Husband stayed. They had three more kids. She drowned those three too. Same house. Same bathtub. Same excuse. Six dead children because a system treated a child killer like a patient who just needed time. That is the whole argument. Not “was she sad.” Not “did she hear voices.” What happens after you let them out, and who pays for it the second time. Lindsay Clancy strangled her three kids. People are already writing her a sympathy card and calling prison cruel. Cruel is three little bodies. Cruel is doing it once and getting a path back to freedom. Cruel is pretending history didn’t already run this experiment and lose six kids. Mental illness can explain how someone gets there. It does not give you a free murder. It does not entitle you to more children. And it does not require the rest of us to wait around and see if the next round dies too. If you kill your kids, you don’t get to be a mother again. You don’t get a soft landing and a second family. Life without parole. Lock the door. Stop experimenting on other people’s children and making excuses. Convict her. Convict those who harm children. Period.

So far, in the 2026 elections, 50 mega donors have spent $1.6 BILLION. 🟦George Soros (D): $102M 🟥Jeffrey & Janine Yass (R): $93.8M 🟥Ben Horowitz & Marc Andreessen (R): $91.3M 🟥Elon Musk (R): $90.6M 🟥Elizabeth & Richard Uihlein (R): $70M 🟥Miriam Adelson (R): $67.6M 🟥Greg & Anna Brockman (R): $50M 🟥Paul Singer (R): $37.1M 🟥Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (R): $33.2M 🟥Ken Griffin (R): $32.5M Billionaires — in either party — should not be able to buy elections. That is not democracy. That is a corrupt campaign finance system. We need to end Citizens United. We need to get super PACs out of our elections. We need public funding of elections.

The moment the league didn’t discipline Sophie Cunningham for her transphobic comments, they set the table for almost all of this political discourse and nastiness towards the trans community. Her conduct has objectively been detrimental to the league.

Mohan Bhagwat and his hateful Hindu nationalist ideology are not welcome in our communities. His paramilitary organization the RSS is responsible for violent attacks and pogroms against Muslims, Sikhs, Dalits, Christians, and more. We must reject all forms of hate and supremacy.

Washed NBA player Enes Kanter just got kicked out of a WNBA game after harassing players. What a loser. No NBA teams want him on their roster so he’s resorted to crap like this. Total weirdo. Find a hobby! https://t.co/R8lnCfoXhv

I defeated an incumbent Republican when I first ran for the Senate in 2010 The establishment did what it could to defeat me; I won anyway I find it telling & extremely irritating when Uniparty Republicans try to defeat a GOP Senate candidate, even after he wins the nomination
