Compared with accounts its own size
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz's engagement rate beats 37% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 17% 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 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

NEW: The Israeli government is paying for ads on Ted Cruz's podcast. Cruz can't take the money himself. But, under an unusual licensing deal, those foreign funds can go to a super PAC dedicated exclusively to Cruz. Let me explain (1/7) https://t.co/Ytuzf5VAxg

As many of you know, and my millions of followers have seen, Matt Gaetz has spent the last several weeks relentlessly posting lie after lie about me and my views. He is a disgraced individual and a truly awful person. I supported the release of his ethics report, which is filled with evidence of vile and disgusting conduct. If he had not resigned, he would have been expelled. I opposed his nomination for attorney general. He quickly withdrew. So, he is angry and obsessed. He's a truly repulsive individual who has done unconscionable things. He has no remorse and no shame. He has never apologized to the people he harmed let alone acknowledged them in a human way. I have decided there is simply no purpose in responding to him. It simply feeds his pathology. The facts and the truth do not matter to him. And I do not want to spend another minute dealing with his smears and obsessions. There is too much real work to do and too many hugely consequential battles ahead. He's a pointless distraction to too many. Therefore, I will do my best to ignore him. Good people will know who is who and what is what.

“[Rob] Bonta, our Attorney General—his wife created the Nick Shirley Act, because they want to stop him from exposing all fraud… Because of the work Nick did in Los Angeles County… Trump issued an executive order and shut down 700 fake hospices in Los Angeles.” Make California Gold Again founder Sarah Stephens details the discovery of widespread fraud in California by journalist Nick Shirley—noting the California Democrats’ response is an attempt to criminalize journalists to keep the money spigot flowing.

El negocio del aguacate es mutuamente beneficioso para los Estados Unidos y México.

There have been numerous reports that misrepresent the facts surrounding an AHCA settlement agreement that has been available to the public for two years. Understanding this is political season and there may be a tendency to misrepresent the facts, it is important to clarify three points: 1. The Centene settlement agreement was negotiated by AHCA, a Florida healthcare agency. The AHCA negotiated agreement made clear how settlement money would be dispersed, to include funds going to Hope Florida. 2. As is standard practice, and would be expected, the AG’s Office was one of multiple agencies that signed the final agreement for execution and release of claims. 3. The AG’s office had no knowledge of how funds would be spent or played any role in how Hope Florida, AHCA, or the legislature would spend the settlement money. Attempts to characterize this any other way are disingenuous.

“The Department of Justice, less than six hours after the Supreme Court issued its birthright citizenship opinion, sent out a memo to all of its 94 U.S. Attorneys, telling them that they need to be on the watch for various crimes that are associated with birth tourism.” Center for Immigration Studies Resident Fellow Andrew Arthur says the DOJ is cracking down hard on birth tourism following the Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship.

“Black trans lives matter… and we want to hold the WNBA and every other institution to their stated beliefs and principles that they have hung over the rest of the country. You’ve gotta walk the walk, you can’t just talk the talk.” Former NBA player @Highway_30 has entered his WNBA draft era, and he's calling out the league as TRANSPHOBIC if they refuse to draft a proven talent such as himself—putting the league’s woke inclusivity claims to the test.
