Engagement
A typical post picks up 66 interactions against 485K followers, an engagement rate of 0.014%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% 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 6.3K times each, and 1.05% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.30% 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, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 28K interactions, about 425x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Townhall.com's engagement rate beats 38% 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 49% 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 20:00 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.

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 | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% 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.
- 0% 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 310 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.

Former WH Press Sec Sarah Huckabee Sanders SHUTS DOWNS reporters crying about Trump banning CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House “I think it’s hard for you to argue against a free press when you’re literally standing in the Oval Office asking questions of the president of the United States. He’s been more accessible and easier to talk to than any president in history. Think about the previous administration, where you could barely get through a press conference. And yet you have the opportunity to stand here in the Oval Office and ask questions to the leader of the free world […] The president is right to support the First Amendment. But he’s also right to ask that you be honest and fair. That’s not an unreasonable thing to ask.”

Hasan Piker's own words on political violence, read back to him on camera: On Charlie Kirk, after a debate: "I want to fucking kill him." On landlords: "Kill those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets soak... their fucking red capitalist blood, dude." On political opponents debating on stage: "Slice them up"... "letting their fucking intestines wither onstage." On Sen. Rick Scott over Medicare cuts: "You would apply capital punishment to Rick Scott." Asked directly if he's concerned he's inciting violence: "No, I do not."

Betty Ong picked up an Airfone from the back of a hijacked plane, and she stayed on it until the moment it crashed. She was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. The line went dead at 8:46, when Flight 11 hit the North Tower. Betty Ong is an American hero. 🇺🇸

Kamala Harris has released this video accusing Donald Trump of cheating in the 2026 midterms. It's a 47 second long video, and it has 15 cuts. Can she not speak coherently for 47 seconds in one take? https://t.co/qA8DU2oBGF

'PUTTING EVERYONE ON NOTICE': FBI Director Kash Patel announces they've seized over $17 BILLION from 20+ scam compounds across Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East "That's money we got back. We're gonna use it with our DOJ partners to prosecute these individuals and then get that money back to the American people from which it was stolen."

Hasan Piker called Charlie Kirk's assassination "fucking devastating," "the most horrifying thing" he'd ever seen, and "pure horror." Then months later was on stage sarcastically singing "We Are Charlie Kirk." His explanation: "It's not my fault the song is a banger." He'd told his own followers to stop making jokes after the killing. Asked why he started making them himself, all he offered was: "Great question." Pressed on whether singing it mocks the assassination: "I'm mocking Charlie Kirk's positions... I'm not mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination. I'm not justifying Charlie Kirk's assassination."

- What is Townhall.com's engagement rate on X?
- Townhall.com (@townhallcom) has an engagement rate of 0.014%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 485,058 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.014%, Townhall.com sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,583 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 @townhallcom have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 38% 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 @townhallcom post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
