The Intercept (@theintercept) — Twitter Score 58 out of 1000

The Intercept is a nonprofit investigative news outlet co-founded by Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and Laura Poitras, launched with backing from First Look Media. The Intercept's Twitter Score is 58 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #15,029 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.

The Intercept was co-founded by Greenwald, Scahill, and Poitras and was previously affiliated with First Look Media, which provided its early institutional home. The outlet was previously backed by Pierre Omidyar and has received support from the First Look Institute. The Intercept pursues adversarial, accountability-focused journalism across politics, national security, and related topics, with occasional coverage touching on cryptocurrency and financial power.

The Intercept was awarded a $3.25 million grant from Sam Bankman-Fried, though only $500,000 was received before Bankman-Fried's bankruptcy, leaving the outlet with a reported budget shortfall according to its editor-in-chief. That funding relationship has since ended.

The Intercept has published 70,354 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 312 accounts, with 1,827 total mentions.
