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.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

The Today Show had a segment this morning on the 39% wholesale price increase of vegetables compared to 1 year ago, the largest jump during a summer month since 1947

The reasons given were:
-Worker shortage (farmers citing workers not showing up due to fear of deportation)
-Heat and drought

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The United States now has an average tariff rate of 18.6%.

That's historic. In fact, we haven't had an average tariff rate like that since the Great Depression.

THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

That's where we are headed, and Sharpie Don won't be able to cook the books forever.

Job growth is slowing to levels not seen since the pandemic.

Inflation is up as more tariffs hit.

Meanwhile, Trump is opening new golf courses, planning for a $200M White House ballroom, and diverting taxpayer dollars to renovate his "free" jet from Qatar.
