Jonathan Turley engagement report
@JonathanTurley - 1.1M followers on X
Measured over 99 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.8K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.255%. Measured over 99 original posts, its engagement rate beats 84% of 21,185 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 51K times each, and 5.41% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 99 posts sampled, 7% carry an image or video, 44% are part of a thread and 83% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 53K interactions, about 19x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jonathan Turley's engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 91% 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 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 7% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 83% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 7% 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.
- 83% 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 272 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.

Reddington’s attack on the holdout juror in front of the courthouse was, in my view, an outrageous and reckless moment. It would warrant a response from the judge about stoking the rage against this one juror.

Pundits came up today one villain short of a MAGA conspiracy in the Omar case. The warrant was reportedly approved by Judge Matthew Sharbaugh, who is a registered Democrat and a Democratic appointee. He is also a Hillary Clinton donor, who was sworn in by Judge James Boasberg.

What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Hasan Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in what I have previously called an “age of rage.” https://t.co/42ZhjRomD9

Ohio Democratic Senate nominee Sherrod Brown just pledged that he will not vote to confirm any Trump judicial nominees regardless of their qualifications. So not only would the Democrats pack the Court, but they will block any new judges to purge the courts through attrition.

North Carolina Democrat state legislative candidate Shelly Headen appears to have been struggling to find a way to distinguish herself in an age of rage.

Zohran Mamdani continues to govern from a place of utter fantasy. The mayor just declared "ICE should not be in this city at all." He would be more successful yelling at a coming winter storm. He has no more authority to exclude immigration enforcement than he does to ban winter.
