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

I’m Jeff Cohen, economist running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District.
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.

The Republican shutdown is utter nonsense!

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's war against the people of Chicago is part of his attack against the Constitution of the United States of 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.
Thoughtless, careless, and selfish.

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.

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.

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.
