A typical post picks up 998 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.066%. Measured over 62 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 3,881 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 98K times each, and 1.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 62 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video and 37% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 54K interactions, about 59x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #breaking, #caleg, #facts.

Compared with accounts its own size

Ted Lieu's engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 56% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.066%, Ted Lieu sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.081%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    If you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, please don’t get on here and express righteous indignation that the debt is now $40 trillion. Anyone with a room temperature IQ knew that cutting taxes and increasing spending was going to balloon the deficit.

    Dear @WhiteHouse: If what trump is saying is true, then why did only about 8 ships pass through the Straight of Hormuz yesterday compared to about 130 to 140 prior to the Iran War? Also, why would trump need to hide in a catering truck like a coward? https://t.co/H0he0e08Td
