Rand Paul engagement report
@RandPaul - 6.0M followers on X
Measured over 95 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6.9K interactions against 6.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.115%. Measured over 95 original posts, its engagement rate beats 87% of 3,739 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 203K times each, and 3.39% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 95 posts sampled, 45% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 112K interactions, about 16x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Rand Paul's engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 89% 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 0.115%, Rand Paul sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.431%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

A million Americans died. Workers lost jobs to mandates. Kids lost years of school they'll never get back. Businesses closed for good. Today my committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer for any of it. https://t.co/D48ucDZIVm

Bill Gates held a top secret Q Clearance for 7 years, through the entire pandemic. He’s not an elected official. He’s not a scientist at NIH. He’s just a very wealthy private citizen who helped shaped the government’s COVID response. https://t.co/EAAlYr9bEH

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Dr. Fauci was COVERING UP data showing a miscarriage rate of OVER 80% in pregnant women who received mRNA COVID vaccines in their first trimester It was effectively an ABORTION SHOT. This is MURDER. Per documents released today by @RandPaul and @SenRonJohnson, "the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data" This study was released in April 2021. But even in DECEMBER 2021, Fauci was STILL telling pregnant women to get the vaccine. FAUCI LIED AND PEOPLE DlED.

Fauci privately warned of miscarriage risk linked to COVID vaccine while publicly claiming no issues, newly released texts show https://t.co/AfpDs6lhZ9 https://t.co/WfRdNAK75j

Today, I visited Fort Knox to see the gold. Since the Fed opened in 1913, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power. $100 back then is worth $3,300 today. That's because Congress spends into oblivion, with no regard for our national debt. At the same time, the Fed prints the difference.

Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights. https://t.co/LW67xSOAMN

That’s funny that’s pretty much what Fauci did to our Committee and the American people last week. https://t.co/wons3fjlCr

NEW: Dr. Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose of the COVID shot “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” @SenRandPaul and I released the texts between Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, and Vivek Murthy below. While I’ve been conducting oversight for years, now that we have the documents and Fauci’s government-issued phone, my investigation has only just begun.

Anthony Fauci's own emails prove it: publicly he dismissed the lab leak theory, privately he admitted it was plausible. That is not science. That’s the very definition of a cover up.

🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump confirms he DOES believe the DOJ should prosecute Dr. Fauci for contempt of Congress "They prosecuted Peter Navarro! And they prosecuted Steve Bannon! Two VERY decent people.. over something that essentially was NEVER prosecuted before." "What he did is FAR more serious than a lot of crimes, frankly, but they prosecuted two people when NOTHING like that has ever taken place before." BIDEN'S DOJ SET THE PRECEDENT. Arrest Fauci!

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.115%, Rand Paul sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,261 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.

- Its engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size group.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
