Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths.
Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed.

This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.
