before i arrived in the senate, but as traffickers move their crimes from the street corner to the smartphone, the data tell us unambiguously that more action is required. the legislation before us reforms a misused provision in a 1996 telecommunications act which currently shields companies that facilitate and profit from the disgusting exploitation of women and children. later today, my colleagues will have the opportunity to implement commonsense reform with the potential to change vulnerable children's lives for the better. i urge every one of us to vote to pass it. now, on a final matter, madam president, we have been talking for months about the ways tax reform is helping to jump-start the economy, bolster family budgets, and make life better for millions of americans. just a few months in, many such stories have already made front-page news. the tax reform bonuses, raises, and benefits for four million workers and counting. the new investments and new hiring for businesses large and small. the bigger paychecks for middle-class americans as the i.r.s. withholds less of their money. but
