Jeff Cohen for Congress

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.

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.

Exhibit 1 how Healthcare affects all of us

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.

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.
