There wasn't a 'banned' list of words, but there were certain terms that they were encouraged not to use, or find alternatives for, if they wanted a chance of getting support/funding from Congress.

Self-censorship is still censorship.
That's what I mean - it's crazy that they have to tailor their budget proposals around certain buzzwords like 'transgender' and 'evidence-based' that apparently trigger the GOP members of Congress.
