    We can just imagine CDC personnel still shaking their heads after finding out that they can't use certain terms in official documents for next year's budget. According to The Washington Post, the Trump administration has prohibited the CDC from using "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based" -- terms you'd expect to be part of CDC's everyday vocabulary. The censorship comes almost a year after barring the EPA from sharing info with the public and having it remove all references to climate change on its website.
