Jonathan Turley engagement report
@JonathanTurley - 1.1M followers on X
Measured over 73 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.254%. Measured over 73 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% 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 55K times each, and 5.00% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.07% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 73 posts sampled, 38% are part of a thread and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 32K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jonathan Turley's engagement rate beats 86% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 91% 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 11:00 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.

Kentucky has a population of just 4.61 million people. However, its governor just called for abolishing the Electoral College, which protects small-population states from being turned into electoral nonentities. https://t.co/IDXPHIl7RQ Next, Beshear will call for banning Bourbon.

What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Hasan Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in what I have previously called an “age of rage.” https://t.co/42ZhjRomD9

BREAKING: An FBI affidavit for a search warrant in the James Comey presidential threat case reveals his wife Patrice Comey sent him a Google screenshot of a nonviolent definition of the term “86” two (2) minutes before Comey posted the alleged threat against President Trump, indicating some forethought his posting could be construed as a threat

Rep. Debbie Dingell: "I am DONE. So don't any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker." It is not surprising that Democrats do not want reporters to ask about the raging antisemite embraced by El-Sayed. What is distressing is how many reporters will dutifully obey the command.

This election is shaping up to be arguably the most important in our history as we fight for the identity of this Republic on its 250th anniversary. We have come face to face with Benjamin Franklin’s warning that this is a Republic if we can keep it. https://t.co/gVNFTcU8mQ

I remain mystified how strangling three children could be manslaughter rather than murder in the Clancy case. It is an effort to have the sentence drive the verdict. It is akin to the demand of the Queen of Hearts for “sentence first, verdict afterwards.”

As I previously noted, Piker and other hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch (who even justified Kirk‘s assassination) have commodified rage to make fortunes from their program. They inject hate directly into the veins of rage addicts. https://t.co/rLxcEoufFR

As predicted, Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J. has lost her appeal to toss out charges at the detention facility on legislative immunity grounds. The Third Circuit held "Like the acts charged in Count One, the acts of pushing past and forcibly striking someone are unambiguously non-legislative: they are not integral to the legislative process." https://t.co/jfVPXv3gcN

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.254%. Measured over 73 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% 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 55K times each, and 5.00% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.07% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 73 posts sampled, 38% are part of a thread and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 32K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.
