Engagement
A typical post picks up 564 interactions against 787K followers, an engagement rate of 0.072%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% of 3,774 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 47K times each, and 1.20% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 43% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 30K interactions, about 53x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jim Sciutto's engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 57% 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 12:00 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.

As of now, 44 people have been reported injured in the massive Russian strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Another 17 people, tragically, were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. It was a heavy strike – 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and another 115 drones, a significant number of them jet-powered. The main targets of the attack were warehouse facilities belonging to civilian businesses. There were also strikes on infrastructure and a railway station. These facilities had nothing to do with the war – a brewing company, construction materials warehouses, and civilian logistics facilities. Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today. It is very important that our partners understand that delays in supplying them, or an unwillingness to provide anti-ballistic systems, lead directly to such horrific casualties and destruction. Partners who are not yet ready to play a more active role in supplying interceptors can help by implementing new sanctions. A significant share of Russia’s ballistic missile production is still not under sanctions. Even now. New steps are needed – from the G7, the European Union, and everyone who supports the protection of life. Thank you to those who are willing to help in this way.

As of now, the number one challenge is Russian strikes. The United States knows exactly what we need and that this is not about something abstract. This is about protecting lives. These are real people, individual lives. Air defense support is needed, and that requires political decisions. In Europe too. In the G7 countries too.

I really am sick of the argument that our allies have been freeloading. Those arguments are fundamentally flawed and, frankly, not very intelligent. 1. Our allies provide forward bases, ports, airspace access, logistics hubs, intelligence, prepositioning, and other infrastructure that dramatically extend the global reach of the U.S. military. U.S. Transportation Command itself describes allies and partners as essential to America's ability to move forces and supplies around the world. Without that network, American power projection would be substantially more difficult and expensive. 2. Our allies came to our defense after 9/11. NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history, and allied troops fought alongside Americans in Afghanistan for nearly twenty years. Some allies paid a very substantial price. Denmark, for example, lost 44 soldiers, giving it a military fatality rate per capita roughly comparable to, and slightly higher by some measures than, that of the United States. 3. Our allies buy enormous quantities of American weapons, technology, and military equipment. Those purchases support the U.S. defense-industrial base, sustain production lines, and create economies of scale. Foreign Military Sales orders can be combined with Pentagon procurement specifically to reduce the unit cost of equipment purchased by the U.S. military. 4. Allied countries also contribute industrial capacity, components, munitions, technology, and joint production to increasingly integrated defense supply chains. Companies such as Rheinmetall and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are part of a much broader allied industrial ecosystem; MHI, for example, produces Patriot systems and has participated in U.S.-Japanese missile production and component programs. 5. Most importantly, our allies are force multipliers. A major war with China would become vastly more difficult without Japanese bases, Australian and other regional access, allied logistics, intelligence, naval and air forces, and industrial capacity. Even the Trump administration's 2026 National Defense Strategy says that allied and partner contributions in the Indo-Pacific will be “vital” to deterring and balancing China. Alliances have costs. So does having the world's most capable global military network. Calling allies “freeloaders” while ignoring what the United States receives in return is poor strategic accounting and, ultimately, dumb.

EXCLUSIVE: Days before Gen. Randy George was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in April, he was advised by another officer to drop the investigation into a controversial helicopter flyby at Kid Rock's home. That officer is Gen. Chris LaNeve, who is now vying for the job.

NEW: North Korea has fired a barrage of ballistic missiles, just hours after dismissing US President Donald Trump’s overture to reopen diplomatic contacts between Pyongyang and Washington. South Korea’s military said on Thursday that its northern adversary had launched about 10 short-range ballistic missiles eastward into the sea. https://t.co/kAVXfU7kbg

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has called for a discussion on the possibility of intercepting Russian missiles over Ukraine – PAP. According to him, Kyiv has been subjected to ballistic missile attacks for several consecutive days; therefore, it is "better to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine than later over Poland." Sikorski emphasized that this issue should be the subject of serious discussion rather than political squabbling. He further stated that the US needs to increase pressure on Russia to achieve a ceasefire—specifically through new, tough sanctions and measures targeting its "shadow fleet." A reminder: A Russian Kh-101 missile—which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead—recently crashed onto Polish territory. The Polish military did not shoot it down.

Debunking Trump’s false claims about Canada: “The president has falsely claimed that the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st US state, which is overwhelmingly unpopular with the Canadian public; that Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually lowin world rankings; that Canada prohibits US banks from operating there, though more than a dozen US banks operate in Canada; that Canada doesn’t accept US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-largest purchaser of those exports; that Chinese and Russian ships are “constantly surrounding” Canada, though that never happened; and that “they don’t, essentially, have a military,” though Canada’s very-much-existent military jointly operates the North American Aerospace Defense Command with the US and fought alongside the US in Afghanistan, against ISIS in the Middle East and in various prior wars.” - @ddale8 https://t.co/XcWm7Ojifx

- What is Jim Sciutto's engagement rate on X?
- Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) has an engagement rate of 0.072%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 787,163 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.072%, Jim Sciutto sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @jimsciutto have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @jimsciutto post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.37 posts per day across the measured window.
