the NEA would typically steer clear of pushing the White House's legislative agenda.

beg to differ with that statement:

From original article:

“”And if you think that my fear regarding the arts becoming a tool of the state is still unfounded, I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “

Is the hair on your arms standing up yet?””

Takes lawyers to figure out how to push the White House's legislative agenda without breaking the law (wink, wink).

Makes sense that the “non-partisan” Yosi would be working for the “non-partisan” NEA.

Similar to “non-partisan” former Democrat politicos working for “non-partisan” news networks.
