Who to follow on X

Three tiers, not a follower count. Tier 1 generates the facts everyone else reposts; tier 2 posts on Minnesota daily and has the audience; tier 3 is distribution, not source. Follower figures were read from logged-out X profiles on October 3, 2026 and are X's rounded display values. Handles were checked against impostors; several commonly-quoted ones (for example @USAO_MN) do not exist. Inclusion is not endorsement.
