Max Blumenthal engagement report
@MaxBlumenthal - 859K followers on X
Measured over 44 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.9K interactions against 859K followers, an engagement rate of 0.223%. Measured over 44 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,774 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 162K times each, and 1.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 18.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 44 posts sampled, 52% carry an image or video and 43% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19K interactions, about 9.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Max Blumenthal's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 55% 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.

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

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.

My journalistic output seems to have triggered yet another mental breakdown by Laura Loomer. The noted serial harasser now wants me imprisoned for interviewing a member of the same team of Iranian content creators interviewed by the BBC, CNN, Vice, and many other outlets. In a separate but equally demented screed yesterday, Loomer shamelessly fabricated details of my questioning by CBP agents, demonstrating that she has as much sourcing as she has ethics, which is exactly none. A day before, Loomer falsely claimed (for at least the fifth time) that I am the employer of Joe Kent's wife, Heather, who published a total of one article with my outlet several years ago. That same day, Loomer cropped a photo of a glass of wine on a dining table where Tucker Carlson was seated to falsely claim the teetotaler had become a full blown alcoholic. Next, Loomer claimed that Tucker is "having sex with a Russian agent and cheating on his wife," admitting she had no evidence for the inflammatory accusation. Someone who's known Loomer well is Roger Stone. In a lengthy profile of his former associate, the veteran GOP operative and Trump insider wrote: "There are questions, too, about [Loomer's] mental health... Loomer has said in the past that she has mental health issues, and told this magazine in 2019 that she had once come close to taking her own life. I feel for Loomer, but there remain questions over why she is prohibited from having a gun license." Stone went on to reveal a conversation with an "American journalist" who told him "that Loomer confided in him Mossad’s detailed plans for Venezuela." He concluded that "this once again raises the question of who Loomer really works for, something she has thus far neglected to reveal." Stone's whole article, "The Tragedy of Laura Loomer," is worth a read, as it describes one of the most shocking subplots in the story of the most corrupt presidential administration in history: a psychologically disturbed fabulist has gained special access to the Oval Office, and exploits it to lobby for executive action against the targets of her clients – who now apparently include a pair of foreign states seeking to drag the US deeper into disastrous wars in Iran and the Donbas. In fact, Loomer managed to convince Trump to fire his administration's most credible expert on Shi'ism and Iran, Nate Swanson. Trump dutifully obeyed Loomer's command to oust Swanson from the NSC after he correctly warned that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by the US. Months later, Trump is getting US troops killed in a failed bid to open the Strait. Where she was once emboldened, Loomer now seems desperate, and more deranged than ever, if that was even possible. After seeming to taking personal responsibility for the warrantless seizure of my phones by the CBP, she's suddenly crashing out over a federal judge describing the act as a violation of my Fourth Amendment rights. After attempting to sicc Trump's DHS Secretary on me, she's calling for his firing. She's bursting botox bubbles over Lego cartoons and demanding my imprisonment for interviewing their creator. The whole crash out has me wondering if her administration patrons will realize what a Frankenstein-Jigsaw monster they created, and that in the end, they are the ones who will be Loomered.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨 GOP Members of Congress call for State Department and DOJ to investigate Radical Left Islamic Terror Sympathizer Max Blumenthal Following His Return From Iran GOP Congressman @RepFine has written a letter to Secretary of State @SecRubio and US Attorney General Todd Blanche @AGToddBlanche calling for radical left propagandist Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal to be investigated by State Department and the DOJ for traveling to Iran to attend the Ayatollah’s funeral. The letter highlights Blumenthal’s pro-Islamic regime activities and his longtime support for state sponsors of Islamic terrorism and radical left movements. The letter continues, “The question of who finances Blumenthal's activities and those of his Grayzone Project also remains. This subject seems particularly relevant in light of the Trump administration's worthwhile efforts to expose the nexus between hostile foreign states and subversive leftist activism on the American homeland. Upon his return from Iran, DHS had reason to confiscate Blumenthal's devices and ask him about who financed his trip to Iran. Blumenthal has since attempted to make a media spectacle out of his devices being confiscated despite traveling to a sanctioned country where he willingly attended the funeral of a global funder of Islamic terrorism. Blumenthal's lengthy track record of supporting enemy propaganda, and his recent participation in Ali Khameni's funeral, shows that he sympathizes with America's enemies and is a threat to United States national security. I urge you to use your offices to promptly investigate Max Blumenthal to ensure the American public is safe from this traitor.” The letter was also signed by GOP Reps Keith Self @RepKeithSelf and @TXRandy14 Randy Weber. This letter to the Secretary of State and US Attorney General comes 2 days after Marco Rubio announced the State Department is imposing sanctions on violent far-left terrorist groups. In a press release, the State Department @StateDept said, “Today’s actions are being taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists, terrorist organizations, leaders and officials of terrorist groups, and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism. This designation is part of a broader U.S. government effort to address the threat of transnational far-left terrorism.” Source: https://t.co/1SFGKJ1dc0 Perhaps this is the beginning of the end for Max Blumenthal and his publication @TheGrayzoneNews.
