Superheroes Are Everywhere is a children's book written by 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]

She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first African American and first South Asian American vice president. A member of the Democratic Party, she served as a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, and earlier as the attorney general of California.

Number One Observatory Circle, often referred to as the Naval Observatory, 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 U.S. Navy's chief of naval operations (CNO) liked the house so much that in 1923 he took over the house from the Observatory superintendent for himself. It remained the residence of the CNO until 1974, when Congress determined that it would be easier and less expensive to provide security in a government-provided residence, and authorized its transformation to the first 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.

Members of the United States Republican Party have reacted differently to Republican president Donald Trump's false claims about the 2020 United States presidential election, with many publicly supporting them, many remaining silent, and a few publicly denouncing them. Trump falsely claimed to have won the election, and made many false and unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. By December 11, 2020, 126 out of 196 Republican members of the House backed a lawsuit filed in the United States Supreme Court supported by nineteen Republican state attorneys general seeking to subvert the election and overturn the election results. The Trump campaign hired the Berkeley Research Group to investigate whether there had been voter fraud. The researchers found nothing, and the consultancy reported this to Trump and his chief of staff Mark Meadows on a conference call in the final days of the year, before the attack on the Capitol.
