Gavin Newsom engagement report
@GavinNewsom - 3.1M followers on X
Measured over 41 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 9.0K interactions against 3.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.288%. Measured over 41 original posts, its engagement rate beats 95% of 3,774 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 259K times each, and 3.48% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.26% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 90K interactions, about 9.9x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #apracecall, #decisionmade, #hawkfire.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gavin Newsom's engagement rate beats 95% 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 89% 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 Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted. Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship. Where the hell is Congress?

.@POTUS: "I was disappointed that Gavin Newscum didn't show up... I heard that he recently said that 'we will lose our country if we don't fight fire with fire.' And, to be fair, there's only one thing we know about Gavin—and that's that he definitely doesn't want to fight fire with water."

This is a 25th Amendment moment. I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil. Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him. Show up and VOTE this November. https://t.co/iAFPo9GIed

This is how democracies rot. In the dead of night, the MAGA-controlled Senate bent the knee again — confirming Trump’s personal attorney as Attorney General. This is corruption on a staggering scale. There must be accountability — and reforms to ensure a lawless DOJ can NEVER happen again.

If SCOTUS caves to Trump and guts mail-in voting months before the midterms, it will throw our elections into chaos. That’s exactly what MAGA wants. The more Americans vote, the harder it is for Trump to cling to power. Show up. Vote. We can’t let them win.

SCOTUS agrees: Trump is a sexual abuser.

The United States in 2026: - Spend your week's wages to buy groceries. - Get salmonella poisoning from the food you bought. - Go to the doctor without insurance. - In debt for the rest of your life. But, you know, MAHA.

NEW: Following today’s SCOTUS ruling, California WILL SUE again to BLOCK Trump’s attack on mail-in voting! Every eligible voter gets a mail-in ballot here — and we’ll fight to keep it that way.

Donald Trump is in California today for a fundraiser at his golf course. But he still REFUSES to deliver the federal wildfire disaster aid he promised to Los Angeles wildfire survivors. Instead, we've watched a presidency defined by corruption, self-dealing, and family enrichment at the expense of the American people. California keeps America running. We send far more to Washington than we get back. Stop stiffing Californians, Mr. President. Keep your word.
