Democrats try to redefine words ‘court-packing,’ ‘infrastructure,’ ‘bipartisan’ amid political warfare

In the early stages of the Biden administration, some of the key political battles aren't revolving around governing philosophies or federal spending or culture wars. Instead, they're about the definitions of words. 

"What is infrastructure?" Politico Playbook wrote earlier this month, asking a question that may appear on a sixth-grade vocabulary quiz. "That’s a question that will dominate politics for the spring and summer." The reason that question is such a big deal is because the White House is selling its recently announced spending package as an infrastructure plan. But Republicans say that much of what is in the package isn't actually infrastructure.
