NEW AD: I'm Jeff Cohen, an economist for 30 years, and I'm now running for Congress. Trump’s economic chaos keeps me up at night. Rent, groceries, healthcare, what keeps you up? We need an economy that’s affordable and stable and even a little boring. Maybe then, we can sleep.

Donald Trump was inaugurated three hundred and seventy-four days ago but still can't take one ounce of accountability. He really said this at a rally in Iowa this week. This is not AI.

This is sickening. People are being murdered by heavily armed, masked men with no identification, dressed in street clothes, and without judicial warrants. How many of those things have to add up for people to think it's too much?

Donald Trump is posting AI-generated images of the U.S. occupying Canada and Greenland. A perpetration of delusion, entirely oblivious to our history and regional politics - and enabled by people like Scott Bessent. We need better leadership and that’s why I’m running for Congress.

Donald Trump addressed House Republicans today. He was supposed to talk policy and their message for the midterms, but not once were the words "affordability" or "cost of living" mentioned in his hour and twenty-four minutes of rambling and blabbing. This is just bizarre.

For the holidays this year, Congress gave to me: 12 families scrambling, 11 doctors sighing, 10 meds awaiting, 9 budgets breaking, 8 calls unanswered, 7 claims denied. FQHC broken! 5 sleepless nights! 4 canceled plans, 3 sick kids at home, 2 ER trips, 1 premium twice as big. Happy holidays!

Trump's deal with pharma sounds pretty good on paper, but here is what's not being talked about. There are no clear enforceable reductions; they are just voluntary promises from companies trying to minimize the risk from Trump's chaotic disastrous tariffs.

Democrats must take back the House, but we don’t just need change for change’s sake. We are just $702 short of hitting our end-of-month goal by MIDNIGHT with no time left. Can you pitch in $9 right now to ensure I get to Congress and crush Trump's economic nonsense? Pass it on.

My name is Jeff Cohen, the economist, and I'm running for Congress in the Democratic primary to represent Illinois's 9th Congressional District. I've spent thirty years working on economic issues, and I'm going to do my very best to CRUSH Trump's chaotic economic nonsense. Pass it on.

Pete Hegseth strikes again. (Literally) He should've been fired by Signalgate, but as we see with his art of the deal negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, his foreign policy is disastrous for our national security. Trump demonstrates again he is no judge of character.

Donald Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense policies keep making things worse, choking off productivity in the economy and flat-out eliminating prosperity for most of America. Trump now thinks he can actually talk about affordability?

The cowardly attack on our National Guard soldiers is an assault on every American who believes in safety and service. I am wishing a full and speedy recovery to the injured heroes and justice for those responsible.

Donald Trump got rid of the penny, and here comes the Trump coin, and the affordability crisis is solved. I solved big economic problems, kitchen table problems, that’s been my actual job. That is why I'm running for Congress to bring that experience to Washington.

Donald Trump’s chaotic economic policies cause an affordability crisis, as costs for housing, groceries, and healthcare continue to skyrocket. He's in denial about it, like with the Epstein files. I'm running for Congress because we need an economist 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. What say you?

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.

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'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 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.
