Engagement
A typical post picks up 258 interactions against 522K followers, an engagement rate of 0.05%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 2.34% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.12% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 59% carry an image or video, 14% are part of a thread and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.9K interactions, about 19x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sen. Susan Collins's engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 71% 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 21:00 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 59% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 18% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 59% 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.
- 18% 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 584 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

I very much appreciate Canada’s decision to remove seafood and fish products from its retaliatory tariff list. These tariffs would have caused tremendous harm to Maine’s lobstermen, disrupting one of their most important markets during the fall fishing season. I urge the U.S. to respond to this show of good faith from our Canadian friends by returning to the negotiating table and working to amicably resolve this trade dispute. Canada is not China. Canada is one of our closest allies and largest trading partners. Our economies are inextricably linked, especially in the border regions. Continuing with these tariffs will harm Maine families, small businesses, municipalities, manufacturers, and farmers. When I spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer this week, I stressed the negative impact U.S. tariffs will have on Maine — especially our forest, food, cement, road salt users and producers. Tariffs will also stress municipal budgets, as small towns in Maine rely on Canadian road salt and cannot afford to incur extra costs to keep their roads safe in the winter.

I am pleased to announce that as of today at 2pm, all ICE enforcement officers in Maine have been equipped with body-worn cameras and trained in their use. When I spoke with ICE Acting Director Venturella last month, he committed to deliver body-worn cameras to ICE agents across the country by the end of August. I urged him to prioritize Maine, and they have arrived more than two weeks ahead of schedule.

The shooting in Biddeford requires a full and impartial investigation of what happened. It is my understanding that the Biddeford police have secured the site and that the FBI is investigating.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin has informed me that the Boston office of the DHS Inspector General has taken over the investigation of the Biddeford shooting in cooperation with the FBI.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and valued colleague Lindsey Graham. His legislative skills and ever-present wit will be sorely missed by those of us fortunate enough to have served with him.

The United States military is one of the greatest meritocracies in the free world; we need to make sure that it stays that way. Today, I pressed Secretary Hegseth on the alarming number of senior generals and admirals who were removed from their positions or blocked from promotions. More than half of these service members were female or black. For the first time in more than a decade, no active-duty female naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral. Reports that women and people of color are disproportionately fired or sidelined create the impression that their service is not valued. This will discourage well-qualified women and people of color from joining our Armed Forces, depriving us of their talent, dedication, and patriotism.

Tonight on the Senate floor, I urged my colleagues to support the bipartisan continuing resolution I worked with members of both parties to craft as Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. After three unnecessary lapses in funding during the fiscal year 2026 cycle, putting the possibility of yet another harmful government shutdown off the table should be a priority for each and every one of us. This straightforward measure would keep the government funded through December 11, protect vital programs and services, and give Congress additional time to continue our work on bipartisan appropriations bills. We cannot allow another damaging shutdown to disrupt the lives of federal workers and the Americans who depend on their work.

Approximately $170 million in Maine goods would be subject to Canada’s announced tariffs, with roughly 62 percent coming from the forest products sector. These tariffs would threaten Maine jobs and businesses while raising costs for families across our state. Today, I wrote to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer urging the Administration to resume negotiations with Canada. I appreciate that the Canadian government removed seafood and fish products, including lobster, from its proposed retaliatory tariff list, avoiding more than $200 million in potential tariffs on Maine’s lobster industry. For Mainers, commerce with Canada is a regular occurrence, as Maine borders only one state but shares a 611-mile border with Canada. The United States and Canada must come back to the negotiating table and reach a fair agreement to prevent these damaging tariffs from taking effect and protect Maine workers, employers, and communities from unnecessary economic harm.

Today, the Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan bill with Senator Tina Smith to reauthorize the Kay Hagan Tick Act, which we first authored in 2019. Maine reported 4,257 cases of Lyme disease last year – more than three times the number of cases reported just six years ago – and 2026 is projected to set yet another record. This is a record that we do not want to set. Our bill will expand efforts to combat Lyme and other tick-borne diseases while supporting promising work already underway in Maine, including a clinical trial for a human Lyme disease vaccine at the MaineHealth Institute for Research and the University of Maine Tick Lab, where Mainers can submit ticks to be identified and tested for pathogens.

Important News for Mainers: After my conversations with the HHS Secretary and OMB Director this week, more than $38 million in federal home heating assistance will be released to help Maine families. This is one of the earliest releases of LIHEAP funding. This announcement comes at a critical time, as rising home heating oil prices are placing significant financial pressure on Mainers. No Mainer should have to choose between heating their home and paying for other basic necessities.

- What is Sen. Susan Collins's engagement rate on X?
- Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) has an engagement rate of 0.05%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 522,262 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.05%, Sen. Susan Collins sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @SenatorCollins have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @SenatorCollins post?
- Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.07 posts per day across the measured window.
