A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 288K followers, an engagement rate of 0.525%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 88% of 6,874 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 15K times each, and 9.90% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.29% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 76% carry an image or video, 22% are part of a thread and 11% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27K interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Senator Mark Kelly's engagement rate beats 88% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 98% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.525%, Senator Mark Kelly sits above the 75th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.499% to 2.09%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,128 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 57,111 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 16:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video76% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link11% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 76% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 11% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 256 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Starting a war against Iran without a plan. Threatening to bomb Oman. Sailors suffering aboard the USS Lincoln. Reducing joint military exercises with South Korea. None of these things have made our country stronger or safer. Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing.

    Donald Trump doesn’t care about the American people or our country. He cares about himself and his billionaire friends. He does everything to make a quick buck for himself and nothing to help hardworking Americans who are struggling every day under his economy. https://t.co/9GKqO2Afu7

    Trump needs to read some history and get his priorities straight. I was part of joint military exercises when I was in the Navy. They help us and our allies like South Korea stay well trained and coordinated. Scaling down those exercises only helps North Korea. https://t.co/CVAhIrMS4k

    The Justice Department is suing Arizona for allowing Arizona high school graduates, including Dreamers, to qualify for in-state tuition. These are people who grew up in our state and are Americans in every way. Going after states that support Dreamers doesn’t fix our broken immigration system or make our country safer.
