Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 607K followers, an engagement rate of 0.239%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 3,791 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 40K times each, and 3.59% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 76% carry an image or video and 30% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Governor Tim Walz's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 85% 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. 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.

Trump's Acting AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

This isn’t about fraud - it’s about cutting your healthcare so that Trump can afford the tax cuts he gave to billionaires. They’re cutting more money in healthcare than they’ve prosecuted for fraud. The math doesn’t add up. https://t.co/2jl43FNdNU
