These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

April fools doesn’t hit the same living in a misinformation epidemic

[Bobs @ballup_19]

@JohnOwning John, longtime follower here. You are my favorite person on Cowboys Twitter. Some of the highest quality content produced across all of NFL Twitter, IMO. Really excited to see what is next for you!!!

[Jane Slater @SlaterNFL]

Cowboys didn’t get a perceived big fish or two. But I applaud them identifying areas that hurt them.
1) gambling on injured players
2) forcing players into a scheme
3) finding value for those players when they don’t and when they can
4) restructuring deals in March vs August
5) having a very clear and intentional vision for what they are looking to do well ahead of the draft and picked up a few picks ahead of it.

Now let’s see how they continue to proceed.

[Crack Amico @CrackAmicoRAP]

Being an adult is realizing that we are on the brink of ww3 but not letting it distract you from the fact that Elimination Chamber is tonight

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.

In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

the concept of calling an ai company “far left” because they’re not allowing you to use it to spy on american citizens and implement it into war strategy

[hannah gais @hannahgais]

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
