Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 234 interactions against 329K followers, an engagement rate of 0.071%. Posts are seen about 55K times each, and 0.427% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 16.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 71% carry an image or video and 57% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.2K interactions, about 14x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #maischberger, #iran, #btw29. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 04:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 71% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 57% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 71% 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.
- 57% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 288 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.

As a third-generation Army veteran, it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the Secretary of the Army under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. Tomorrow is my last full day in the role. Our Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families are our Nation's very best, and they have inspired me every day. I am sincerely thankful for their service and sacrifice. I had the privilege of working with them to modernize and accelerate how the Army mans, trains, and equips the most lethal fighting force on the face of the earth. We could not have made the progress we did without the support of Secretary Hegseth. I am forever grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to once again serve my country. Dan Driscoll 26th Secretary of the Army

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Senior Iranian source to me: “Monday's meeting in Oman is part of Iran's strategic and responsible plan to foster trust among regional nations and lay the groundwork for consolidating indigenous security.” “However, this agreement does not imply an automatic reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,” the source adds saying, “the Strait will not become secure until the US fulfills its obligations and halts its naval blockade and economic warfare.”@CNN

Germany blaming Russia for the alleged drone attack on August 4th at Leipzig airport. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova sent me this response: “They came up with a pretext. At the same time, Berlin itself is completely tainted both by stoking the Ukrainian conflict and by its involvement in terrorist acts against civilians. The Russian house has long haunted them. That’s why they were looking for something to latch onto. Moscow will respond to all anti‑Russian decisions.” @CNN

عراقچی: پاسخ ایران به هرگونه برخورد نظامی، محکمتر از گذشته خواهد بود 🔹اگر دشمنان ما بار دیگر مسیر برخورد نظامی را در پیش بگیرند، پاسخی محکمتر از گذشته دریافت خواهند کرد و ما قویتر از گذشته از خود دفاع خواهیم کرد. 🔹در مقابل، اگر به دنبال راههای دیپلماتیک باشند، ما همچنان آمادهایم تا از مسیر دیپلماسی به یک راهحل عادلانه و شرافتمندانه برای پایان این جنگ دست پیدا کنیم. https://t.co/bHw9cr6dAl

Political disagreement in Tehran does not necessarily mean institutional rupture. Debates over war strategy, diplomacy, deterrence and how to end the war are genuine. But once the state reaches a decision, the leadership generally closes ranks behind its implementation.
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.
Recurring topics
The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.
