Joe Scarborough engagement report
@ScarboroughNow - 2.5M followers on X
Measured over 48 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 2.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.065%. Measured over 48 original posts, its engagement rate beats 78% 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 180K times each, and 0.904% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.17% 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 11:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 48 posts sampled, 42% carry an image or video and 35% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 16x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nationaldebt, #kindofblue, #lindaronstadt.

Compared with accounts its own size
Joe Scarborough's engagement rate beats 78% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 54% 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 11:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

By threatening to bomb Oman — a longtime U.S. ally with nearly 200 years of diplomatic ties and active military cooperation — Trump just became the first American president in history to openly threaten to bomb one of our own partners. This is fucking insane. Treating a friendly Gulf nation the same way you'd threaten an actual enemy isn't tough leadership; it's the deranged, reality-detached ranting of a man who has completely lost the plot. There are no grown-ups in this regime, only loyalists unwilling to put the brakes on a president who is obviously in the depths of a psychological breakdown.

All year long we heard “we’ll get to the SAVE America Act when we have time,” realizing it would likely take a few weeks. We waited patiently while fully funding DHS and addressing other priorities, expecting to return to it when time allowed. It’s now August, and we’ve already taken more recess weeks this year than I can count. There are 21 weeks remaining in 2026, and approximately 14 of them will be spent with the Senate in recess. Why? These few weeks in August offer what could be the perfect chance to return to the SAVE America Act and debate the bill until it passes. We should be doing precisely that. Frankly, we should have done it months ago. That’s why I objected to recess and voted against it. Unfortunately, I and those who joined me in opposing it were far outnumbered—with all Democrats and most Republicans preferring to take yet another lengthy recess, this time until September 14th. Lost opportunity.

Eight members of an NBC News Team were attacked and beaten by Israeli settlers wielding clubs earlier today in the West Bank, while the team was covering the recent wave of attacks, riots and unrest in the territories by said settlers, which has led hundreds of Palestinians to flee from their homes in towns and villages across the West Bank.

The game of the year, without a doubt, and one of the greatest regular-season games ever. The Chicago White Sox held a lead within every inning from the third inning through the 12th on Thursday night -- 10 straight innings of leads. And lost in the 13th. What a win for the Red Sox.

NEWS: Trump says he has ordered Pete Hegseth to “substantially reduce” joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and calling the drills “hostile.” Trump says he is helping North Korea because South Korea refused to join his failed war against Iran.

We spend so much time looking for God that we miss God in the person sitting next to us. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God. We love God by loving our neighbors. https://t.co/gswz9as2VZ

Treasury announced this week that it would destroy the government’s registry of shell-company ownership. This is an anti-corruption database that Treasury is by law required to maintain. Even worse, the Trump administration will also destroy all the data it has already collected, so that no future presidential administration or local police department can use it, either. “It’s like Trump ordering the deletion of the FBI’s entire fingerprint database" They’re effectively salting the earth, so that sex traffickers, scam artists, drug lords, money-launderers, and tax cheats can roam free not only through the end of Trump’s time in office but long after he’s out, too.

Why would Trump remove federal reporting requirements this week mandated in a law authored by Marco Rubio in 2020 to identify domestic and international sex traffickers, money launderers and terrorists, and will Rubio comment on it? https://t.co/aSTO2FL0tv
