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, the economist running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th. I used to coach my kids’ soccer games at James Park in Evanston. Yesterday, the fields were empty because masked ICE agents prowled across the street. No American should fear their own government.

This shouldn’t be happening in our democracy and I stand with the Governor and the Mayor against this nonsense.

Today, the President called for the arrests of Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson because of them standing their ground against the unconstitutional ICE raids in Chicago and Cook County. Arresting political opponents is something a king or dictator would do.

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)

This Republican shutdown is utter nonsense!

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, or whatever fits in your budget before midnight when we hit our first FEC deadline? https://t.co/3iAdf4BTKN

Republicans are shutting down the government rather than fixing the healthcare crisis they created. Dems 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.

NEWS: CNN polls show Republicans have are currently leading over Democrats heading into the midterms: We can flip this right now by focusing on an economic message. As an economist, I will work hard to make sure every American knows what’s at stake.

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.

Trump is ramping up ICE & 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.
