I’m Jeff Cohen. I’ve spent my life working on big economic problems.
Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense is failing us. Americans can’t get ahead.
I’m running for Congress because we need leadership to fix it.

The Epstein emails that were released today only confirm what we all know: Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States.
And if being morally despicable wasn’t enough for you, he’s also ruining our economy.

On Veterans Day, we pause and honor the brave men and women who fought for our country.
Trump betrayed so many veterans by firing them from the federal government. If we really value their service, we must ensure they have access to healthcare and essential services.

Donald Trump raging about Democrats doing commercials about affordability and saving our economy would make a great commercial for our campaign.

House Republicans are using the expiring ACA subsidies as a punching bag, which is resulting in dramatic out-of-pocket price hikes for enrollees; make no mistake, this all comes from the top, directly from Donald Trump.
It's outrageous.

In our democracy, we say No Kings. Today was a powerful reminder that there are so many of us ready to stand up for what we believe in. Proud to be among so many in Evanston and Arlington Heights! #IL09

If ACA subsidies expire, a 60-year-old in Chicago making $65K will see premiums jump from $5,500 to $10,200 a year.
Ending these subsidies isn’t fiscal responsibility: it’s cruelty disguised as policy.

In these unprecedented times, it is important that everyone knows their rights if questioned by federal law enforcement. We must stick together as friends and neighbors.

A Letter to My Republican Friends: Will you please stand up and say something about this administration’s middle of the night ICE raids on US citizens on the south side of Chicago?
Not one, but two Amendments of the US Constitution—the 4th and 5th—are being violated. (1/4)

Trump’s attacks on the Constitution, our sacred democracy, science, education, climate change, women’s reproductive rights, the Fed Reserve, the judiciary branch, and whatever else he’s done since you started reading this post don't reflect who we are as a people and what we want to be as a country.

Democrats must take back the House, but we don’t just need change for change’s sake, and we don’t need more of what got us here.
Can you pitch in $9, $15, $25, $50, or whatever fits in your budget before midnight when we hit our first FEC deadline?
No donation is too small to make a difference.

Republicans are shutting down the government rather than fixing the healthcare crisis they created.
Democrats must use the budget negotiations to fight back.
I'm running for Congress after working on big budget and economic problems for years. I want to do the same in Washington.

Donald Trump is not sending us the military to safeguard ICE or anybody else.
This was never about immigration or fighting crime; it's about intimidating and putting fear into lawful residents of our beautiful city, Chicago, and all around America.

Trump did it in front of our eyes.
Within one week:
● Fires an experienced prosecutor for not indicting Comey.
● Publicly urges Bondi to go after Comey.
● Installs his personal insurance lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience.
● Comey indicted.
●Trump celebrates.

Jimmy Kimmel is back tomorrow.
In an era when Trump wants to silence pretty much any criticism - Kimmel’s return is more than late-night TV:
It’s proof (I hope) that free speech is still alive in America.

Donald Trump is using the memorial of Charlie Kirk to promote his illegal political stunts that he wants to do in our beautiful city, Chicago.

Donald Trump is ramping up ICE and threatening a military presence where it’s unwarranted. Reducing the immigrant workforce makes zero economic sense.
I’m Jeff Cohen, economist running for Congress in IL-09 – and I know immigrants make us more productive, more prosperous, more American.

Today is my first day on BlueSky and as a candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 9th. We need experience in D.C.
Will you follow me as I speak out about how we can create an economy that works for all of us?

Hi. I’m Jeff Cohen, the economist running for Congress.
The new BLS revision shows 911,000 fewer jobs than earlier reported. The job market is weaker than we thought.
Trump’s excuse for firing the BLS chief is wrong. Revisions are normal. The problem is the economy’s decline.
