Any suggestions to try?

It is difficult to make such suggestions. We do not know who you are, where you live, what your political preferences are, anything on which to base suggestions.

So, no.

All I can do is tell you some of the keywords I block that improve my Twitter experience.

For instance:

brexit, brexit party, trump, maga, soccer, football, premiereleague

I have also blocked all the names of various celebrities when they "trended".

There are also some keywords that help:

suggestrecycledtweet_inline suggestpyletweet suggestactivitytweet suggest_timeline_tweet suggest_recycled_tweet suggest_pyle_tweet suggest_activity_highlights suggest_activity_feed RankedOrganicTweet ActivityTweet suggest_ranked_organic_tweet suggest_sc_tweet suggest_ranked_timeline_tweet generic_activity_MomentsBreaking generic_activity_Highlights suggest_grouped_tweet_hashtag suggest_activity suggest_who_to_follow suggest_recap suggest_recycled_tweet_inline

There are multiple sources of these, e.g.

Some do not keep working for long. :-(

Whenever you see a tweet you didn't want to see, pick a word directly from the tweet and add it to your block list right then. Don't worry about false positives too much because it's just Twitter, missing a tweet or two isn't the end of the world, and also I often only block words "from people you don't follow" so the blocks don't apply to direct tweets from people I know. Pretty soon you'll have a great block list and a clean feed.
