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 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.

Well, they are not particularly funny or intimidating, so a grade of F on that effort.

Please Republicans, take a stand here. (4/4)

produce actual evidence to support the basis for these raids. Instead, the President and his handlers sit around making lame mocking music videos meant to either humor their base, or somehow intimidate the rest of the country. (3/4)

Probable cause and due process? C’mon. Where is the common sense for terrorizing an entire apartment building, handcuffing US citizens, and zip-tying together children?

Meanwhile, where is Donald Trump? Apparently he and his administration can’t be bothered to (2/4)

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)

The Republican shutdown is utter nonsense!

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's war against the people of Chicago is part of his attack against the Constitution of the United States of America.

Governor Pritzker is damn right.

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.

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.

BREAKING: A judge temporarily blocked Trump from removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

Donald Trump injects risk into the economy merely by introducing legally questionable actions. And that risk costs us all money.

As an economist, I can’t sit on the sidelines as Trump pushes chaotic economic nonsense.

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.

I’m an economist who is running for Congress.

We need experience to stand up to Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense that chokes off productivity and eliminates prosperity.

Today is 9/9 and I’m running in IL 09. Can you chip in $9 to send me to Congress?
