Max Blumenthal engagement report
@MaxBlumenthal - 866K followers on X
Measured over 38 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.6K interactions against 866K followers, an engagement rate of 0.297%. Measured over 38 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% 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 115K times each, and 2.23% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 13.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 38 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 32% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 9.3x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Max Blumenthal's engagement rate beats 86% 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 70% 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 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 | 74% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 32% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 74% 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.
- 32% 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 330 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.

Was ICE's detention of Milo Yiannopolous a case of weaponization against a political gadfly who'd exposed Laura Loomer? Loomer has explicitly claimed credit for ICE's jailing and impending deportation of Milo, claiming she was first to report his immigration status to the feds, and bragging that he was "Loomered" Milo had become a leading right-wing opponent of Trump's war on Iran, and an outspoken critic of Israel. Loomer implied this was the reason for his targeting by ICE. Left unmentioned was Milo's former friendship and role as Loomer's communications director during her failed run for Congress. He knew her on an intimate basis, and had come to resent her for her alleged personal conduct. Journalist Nina Burleigh reported that Milo accused Loomer of sexually harassing a male staffer on the campaign, claiming it prompted him to quit. Milo has even called Loomer a "rapist." During a 2024 interview with Tim Pool, Milo said he personally witnessed Loomer boasting to friends in Palm Beach that she had performed a "sex act" on Donald Trump. When Bill Maher referenced Milo's story on his HBO show, claiming Trump "might" be "fucking" Loomer, the right-wing propagandist sued the comedian, insisting that he cost her rides on Air Force One, along with the job she yearned for in his administration. According to Burleigh, the judge presiding over Loomer's lawsuit against Maher is "demanding to see her financial information, an order to which she has so far not submitted. Her case is not being helped by 'four White House officials' who recently leaked to Bari Weiss’s Free Press that 'Laura is more trouble than she’s worth' and speculated that she is influenced by lobby firms." During his interview with Tim Pool, Milo said he told Trump allies that Loomer "is not Jewish, she made it up... She ordered a Star of David necklace off the internet." Milo went on to recount how he witnessed Loomer draw a pentagram on a folder she was holding ahead of a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition of Palm Beach, thinking it was a Star of David. Milo posted his comments on Twitter/X, boasting that he'd "removed Laura Loomer from the President’s orbit, at the urging of his staff and family." It's still unclear whether this is why the Trump admin targeted Milo. But if he was really "Loomered," as Loomer claims, it would seem that the real goal of his deportation was to remove one of the key sources of compromising allegations about a fanatical Trump loyalist who apparently still plays a pivotal role in the administration's propaganda campaigns – Air Force One rides or not.

One of Lebanon's wealthiest men was just exposed as a dominant force behind the campaign to convince Lebanon to submit to occupying Israel's will. His name is Antoun Sehnaoui, and his girlfriend, former Trump special envoy to Lebanon Morgan Ortagus, publicly bragged that he's been "trained" since birth to "be a supporter of the state of Israel" — and that his actions are "technically illegal" in Lebanon. I broke down his crusade and documented the media mercenaries he's recruited for his mission at @TheGrayzoneNews. https://t.co/r9U5MWR6Zl
