Engagement
A typical post picks up 298 interactions against 2.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.01%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 21,185 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 36K times each, and 0.825% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.25% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video and 31% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 85K interactions, about 285x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Lawrence O'Donnell's engagement rate beats 34% 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 42% 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.

At 0.01%, Lawrence O'Donnell sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,146 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 22:00 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 | 69% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 31% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 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.
- 31% 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 146 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

Mamdani is doing something that Rudy Giuliani refused to do. He’s releasing all the documents showing officials knew the air in NYC was full of asbestos and other toxins after 9/11 but lied and spent 25 years covering it up. The “scary communist” is delivering transparency. https://t.co/BlwLtYe7tc

She “declined?” “Declined”? You can’t just decline to get a security clearance. You either get one or you don’t have a job. So much dysfunction in this White House. When will the GOP have had enough? Why risk the country for this? https://t.co/X0unu3P0FX

The State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

Senate Republicans ignore the Epstein survivors and confirm Todd Blanche. House Republicans ignore Bernie and Emily Moreno and do nothing about Max Miller. Zuckerberg's yacht ignores people in distress. It's Donald Trump's party.

If you want to know what’s wrong with Washington, take a look at the Rand Paul/Dr. Fauci hearing. Pointing fingers and assigning blame rather than learning lessons to prevent the next pandemic. Where are the hearings on the measles outbreak? How about hearings on the cyclosporiasis outbreak? If that’s not enough to get you sick, this administration continues to leave Americans more vulnerable than ever to disease as they continue to dismantle the FDA and the CDC.

Trump promised to balance the budget. Musk projected $2 trillion in savings. This year, the deficit grew by 18% — with $200 billion of that due to refunds of his illegal tariffs. My @nytopinion Chart https://t.co/aSuK1r67VU

The Rot at the Heart of Trump's Treasury: A Regime So Corrupt Even Its Own Loyalists Are Fleeing Before the Handcuffs Arrive In Trump's second term, senior Treasury officials are quitting in droves rather than risk prison. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has already suffered a "dramatic exodus." At least four of the seven top officials left after clashing with the White House over demands to stretch — or violate — tax law. Seven of 16 Senate-confirmed appointees (44 percent) have quit or been pushed out. Bessent has burned through at least three chiefs of staff. The flashpoints were explicit. Officials resisted pressure to hand over taxpayer data for the administration's immigration crackdown. They also rejected a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund designed to compensate Trump allies and kill any past or future IRS audits of the president and his family. Senate Republicans forced the fund's abandonment, but the demand itself exposed the agenda. These career professionals are not fleeing out of sudden conscience alone. They fully intend to work again once this criminal regime's reign of terror and corruption ends. They know that complying with illegal orders now could mean disbarment, indictment, or permanent exile from government and private-sector work later. Mark Mazur, a veteran tax official who served both parties, stated the obvious: "They're asking them to do stuff that is well beyond the norm, and for some things that may or may not be legal. A lot of these people expect to have a career after this administration, and being disbarred would be a bad thing for them." This turnover exceeds that under any other treasury secretary this century. Even Republican tax professionals are refusing to comply. The pattern is clear: the White House is treating tax law as optional when it protects one man. Officials who still value their freedom, licenses, and future livelihoods are walking away while they still can.

- What is Lawrence O'Donnell's engagement rate on X?
- Lawrence O'Donnell (@Lawrence) has an engagement rate of 0.01%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,892,494 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.01%, Lawrence O'Donnell sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,146 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 @Lawrence have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @Lawrence post?
- Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.57 posts per day across the measured window.
