1 hour and 42 minutes

Nothing brings us together as a species quite like the brief alignment of heavenly bodies. And this Friday will bring a special treat: an extra-long lunar eclipse, lasting one hour and 42 minutes. (The longest this century, according to NASA.) So ready your binoculars and … oh, crap. It’s not visible from North America. Figures.

Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, both Republicans and leaders of the House Freedom Caucus, introduced a resolution yesterday to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the man who oversees the special counsel’s Russia investigation.

The resolution is not a sign, however, according to CNN, that the House is close to a vote on impeaching Rosenstein. The chairmen of the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee did not sign onto the resolution. [CNN]

17 percent plunge

Facebook (if you haven’t heard of it, ask your parents) missed its revenue and user projections for this quarter.

Facebook stock fell 17 percent on the misses in premarket trading on Thursday. [CNBC]
