20 posts held, back to 20 December 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 10 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 8 February 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
707 reactions across 20 posts, in 13 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 51.1% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 707reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 20 December 2023 to 8 February 2024, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
What else to know: 👉 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy removed Valery Zaluzhny as the country's military commander-in-chief — ending months of tensions between the two. 👉After calls from members of the European Parliament to sanction Tucker Carlson went viral this week, the E.U. said it isn’t planning to do so — at least not yet.

The Senate advanced an aid bill of tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel after months of handwringing. It still has a ways to go, with timing for final passage in limbo. “We are going to keep working on this bill until the job is done,” said Chuck Schumer, in a not-so-subtle threat to keep his colleagues over the weekend or until the supplemental is passed in full.

Welcome to Monday. Here are three things to know to as we head into the week: 👉 Senators unveiled their long-awaited bipartisan border deal last night, which includes sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as well as the U.S-Mexico border. But it could be dead on arrival in the House (if it even makes it there). 👉 After foreign secretary David Cameron said Britain would “look at the issue of reco…

Welcome to Wednesday 👋 Here are three stories to know halfway through the week: 👉Rumors are swirling that Volodymyr Zelenskyy might oust his top general. Our sources tell us the only reason it hasn’t happened yet is that the Ukraine president is afraid of creating a powerful political rival. 👉Are there more Russian spies in the European Parliament? As the chamber investigates a Latvian lawmaker, some are warning th…

What else to know: 👉The intensifying Red Sea conflict is threatening to ripple across the U.S. economy at the most inopportune time for Democrats and President Joe Biden — potentially nudging inflation back up just ahead of this fall’s election. 👉Senate Democrats are officially over Benjamin Netanyahu, pointing out significant problems with his handling of Israel’s war against Hamas after the October attack. While …

We caught up with Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on Wednesday as Kyiv fights to maintain Western support in its war with Russia. A snapshot of what he said 👇 Ukraine’s fears: It’s not just flagging U.S. support that’s keeping the country awake at night. It’s also concerned with maintaining European backing. A €50 billion EU package for Ukraine has stalled since last year, after Hungary blocked it, with EU l…

What else you should know: 👉 President Biden invited congressional leaders to a White House meeting on months-long negotiations over funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and border security. They’re scheduled to meet on Wednesday. 👉 U.S. diplomats, who are worried about the size and intent of the big Chinese delegation in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, are trying to arrange a meeting between Secretary of…

Foreign diplomats are aghast that so many U.S. leaders let their zeal for partisan politics prevent the basic functions of government. It’s a major topic of conversations at their private dinners and gatherings, according to conversations with a dozen current and former diplomats. Many of these conversations wouldn’t have happened a few months ago.There are rules, traditions and pragmatic concerns that discourage fo…

What else to know: Progressive lawmakers are furious at Biden for not seeking congressional approval — as cited in Article 1 of the Constitution — before launching the attacks. It’s reigniting the long-simmering congressional battle over war powers and becoming a rare point of consensus for progressives and hardline conservatives.

The fact that Biden didn’t order the retaliatory strikes for more than a week after the Jan. 1 meeting was in line with his well-known desire to exhaust diplomatic options and avoid dragging the U.S. into another Middle East war. But the president made clear in a statement that the latest Houthi attack had crossed a line. More inside Biden’s decision

A timeline of President Biden's decision to strike the Houthis – the first major U.S. military response to the group’s ongoing attacks on commercial ships in a critical international trade area👇 Dec. 2023: The U.S. military drew up forceful options against the Houthis as early as the first week of December. But at that point, senior Biden officials — who worried that hitting the Houthis could provoke Iran and widen …

This has made Netanyahu reluctant to take American advice on the war. It also suggests that U.S.-Israeli tensions will grow as Palestinians struggle to survive Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Privately, some in President Biden’s administration are seething that Netanyahu is still leading Israel’s government, and they believe his political shelf-life is limited. But U.S. officials aren’t giving up on trying t…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @politico. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 841,597 of 1,622,129entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 3 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 2 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
