Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

1) The Senate will be 53-47 GOP while Dems represent 53.5% of the 50-state population
2) 51% of Americans live in the 9 biggest states & get 18 senators; 16% in the 25 smallest states get 50
3) CA is > the 21 smallest states combined & 67 times > WY
4) 4 million citizens in DC & PR get 0 senators

All of these, except maybe presidential immunity, were obvious imperatives after Trump I. They could have been done in January 2021, if even a minority of Republicans wanted them.
