Robert Barnes engagement report
@barnes_law - 366K followers on X
Measured over 13 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.4K interactions against 366K followers, an engagement rate of 0.385%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 89% of 20,444 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 106K times each, and 1.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 29.0% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 119K interactions, about 85x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ar02, #midterms.

Compared with accounts its own size
Robert Barnes's engagement rate beats 89% 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 55% 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 14:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 | 69% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 38% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 69% 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.
- 38% 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 234 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.

Ukraine is a country of peace. And we truly respect the fact that our partners want to help bring this war to an end. We support every such effort. When the Americans asked us to pause strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg on August 25, 26, and 27, we observed that pause. There were no strikes on Russia, while strikes on Ukraine continued. When another global power asked us to pause strikes in the direction of Vladivostok for a specified period of time, we agreed to ensure that as well. New meetings in Moscow are now being prepared, and we will take that into account. We always support every step toward peace – every step to prevent Russia from making this war endless. The war needs to end, and leaders are right to tell Putin this. So, for the sake of diplomacy and negotiations, whenever our partners approach us about this, we will ensure that Russian skies are cleared of drones for specified periods of time and along specified routes. Safety will return to Russia’s skies when there is real movement toward peace. For now, the skies over Russia are for drones – not for civilian aviation.

🔥This from Rand Paul's latest documents is a huge and shocking data point, worth further investigation. It suggests that the CIA and Pfizer knew they were lying to the public on the very need for a Covid shot at all. By the time of release, according to their own math, shared only privately, we would already have achieved herd immunity. On May 7, 2020, CIA Chief Operating Officer Andy Makridis led a briefing with Pfizer's Scott Gottlieb. The CIA summary of the meeting: "On 'herd immunity' Dr. Gottlieb...believes nationally, the seroprevalence is about 20-25% which is insufficient for herd immunity at the R₀ (BRR) value of 3." Screenshot attached. In the same time frame, he was telling the public it was low around 8%. Even 3.5 months later, August 16, 2020, he was STILL claiming a low seroprevalence rate nationally. Screenshots attached. What this means: both Gottlieb AND the CIA KNEW early on that endemicity would be obtained by the time of the shot release. They lied in public while telling the truth in private. https://t.co/cdt1wq0dld

🚨Additional video @FBI edited from their $500,000 reward appeal for the J6 pipeb*mber. Clips that most obviously give away their scam … and that you were never intended to see.🚨 Anyone who has seen Brian Cole Jr. take as few as ten steps knows he is not the person in this video. (Nor the same gender.) No gait recognition software needed—just an honest FBI Director and US Attorney to put a stop to this farcical prosecution. More to come… *Video credit: Clallam County Sheriff, Port Angeles, WA #FreeBrianColeJr
