Measured over 54 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 3,829 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 15K times each, and 0.951% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 54 posts sampled, 43% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 20K interactions, about 139x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Barb McQuade's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 51% 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 Saturday 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.

With Blanche’s confirmation, the Senate has surrendered the rule of law. https://t.co/PudjgOjaUa

Do we need to explain to GOP senators how 5th Amendment works? Disgusting lawless attack to scapegoat Dr. Fauci to score political points. Another distraction from the real issues our government should be addressing. https://t.co/y7jyOYOSKj

To all my DOJ brothers and sisters who are still applying the rule of law with integrity: please hang in there unless and until you are asked to do something unlawful or unethical. We need you and we appreciate you!

Don’t be fooled, Abdul El-Sayed, Bernie Sanders and AOC are trying to bring communism to Michigan. We won’t let them. Let’s get to Work. https://t.co/EplcWSah7S

Tillis and Cornyn have caved to Trump’s $100 million IRS immunity, but that’s just one reason to reject him as AG. Here are many more: - targeting Comey, James, Brennan, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein, Maxwell - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases - finding of fraud on the court - loss of DOJ’s presumption of regularity

Attacking reporters, particularly female reporters and now even one’s children, is a Trump tactic used to disguise is inability to answer a hard question. We deserve a leader with some maturity and respect for the role of the press to inform the public. https://t.co/CrskCYDT9k

A stay is intended to preserve the status quo while a court considers a legal challenge. Chief Justice Roberts seems to get this exactly backwards in allowing Trump to continue building his ballroom while the case is pending. https://t.co/QSCF72IoP9

Just because a president can control DOJ does not mean he should. Since Watergate, America has prized a Justice Department that is independent from partisan politics. Trump and Blanche have upended that fidelity to the rule of law. https://t.co/X6fQ1Kr9m4

During today’s Senate judiciary hearing, Sen. Grassley credited Todd Blanche with reducing violent crime rates. Crime rates started going down during the Biden administration after a spike in 2020 during the pandemic under Trump‘s watch.

- What is Barb McQuade's engagement rate on X?
- Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) has an engagement rate of 0.021%, based on the median interactions across 54 original posts from the last 30 days against 673,631 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.021%, Barb McQuade sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 @BarbMcQuade have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @BarbMcQuade post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
