It's a great day to look at a spammy network that's been tweeting repetitive political tweets for the last year. Plot twist: many of the spammy repeated tweets are anti-Biden, but the network mostly retweets pro-Biden accounts. #ThursdayAstroturf

This spam network consists of (at least) 1167 similarly-named accounts created between January 2022 and January 2023. Thus far, all of their tweets were allegedly tweeted via the Twitter Web App.
For the first few months of 2022, the accounts in this network only retweeted, producing no tweets of their own. This changed in early May 2022; from that point forward, the network posted roughly equal numbers of tweets and retweets on any given day.
