once! (only after the 2014 elections when it was apparently decided that the word could be mentioned (with re to the GOP as it would not be potentially damaging to the GOP brand after the last election of the Obama presidency & because control of the Senate passed to the GOP) because after the GOP took control of the Senate mentioning the word would now involve reporting on the Democrats use of the filibuster and would not damage the GOP's brand).
