Superheroes Are Everywhere is a children's book written by Vice President of the United States and former Senator Kamala Harris and illustrated by Mechal Renee Roe. It was published on January 8, 2019. [1]
The book teaches that superheroes can be found everywhere in real life, from family members, to friends, to teachers at school and college, based upon the author's life. [1]
Booklist said that the book "offers a solid message: a superhero could be anyone, including you [the reader]." [1] Likewise, Common Sense Media called it an "encouraging, uplifting book [that] inspires kids to recognize the superheroes all around them and promise to be, like them, brave, kind, helpful, and more." [2]
An April 24, 2021 New York Post cover story by Laura Italiano falsely claimed that the book was being distributed to immigrant children in a shelter in Long Beach, California in "welcome kits." [3] The story was later debunked - the facility has one copy of the book that was donated to its library. [4] Chair of the Republican National Committee Ronna McDaniel, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton promoted the rumor and suggested that Harris may have profited from the situation at the expense of taxpayers. [3] [5] [6] As a result of the controversy, Italiano confirmed that she had deliberately written a false story and resigned. [7]

Number One Observatory Circle is the official residence of the vice president of the United States. Located on the northeast grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., the house was built in 1893 for the observatory superintendent. The chief of naval operations (CNO) liked the house so much that in 1923 he took over the house for himself. It remained the residence of the CNO until 1974, when Congress authorized its transformation to an official residence for the vice president, though a temporary one. It is still the "official temporary residence of the vice president of the United States" by law. The 1974 congressional authorization covered the cost of refurbishment and furnishing the house.

The political positions of Kamala Harris are reflected by her United States Senate voting record, public speeches, and interviews. Kamala Harris served as the junior senator from California from 2017 to 2021. On August 11, 2020, Harris was selected by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to be his running mate in the 2020 United States presidential election, running against incumbent U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. With Biden's election victory, Harris was subsequently elected as vice president. Harris was described by The New York Times as a pragmatic moderate, with policy positions that broadly mirror those of Biden. However, the non-partisan GovTrack rated Harris as the most liberal U.S. Senator, prompting debate over her position in center-left and left-wing politics.
