Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The governor of Illinois is pushing back on reported plans to send the National Guard into Chicago. Speaking on CBS, Governor J.B. pritzker called the move an invas, saying the Trump administration has other motives besides fighting crime.

We hope that they don't send any troops along with ice, and if they do, they'll be in court pretty quickly because that is illegal. Posse Comitatus does not allow US Troops into US Cities to do, you know, to fight crime, to be involved in law enforcement. That's not their job.

The Trump administration has already deployed National Guard troops and federal agents to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. in recent weeks. It's part of a crackdown on what the White House calls violent crime, even though crime rates are down in those cities. At least 600 people are dead following a powerful magnitude 6.0 earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan last night. The BBC's Yogita Lamaya reports the death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue operations continue.

We have been told that there is large scale destruction in the area. The Taliban government is saying that they've heard that there are vill have been completely destroyed and that masses of people are feared trapped under the rubble. But this is mountainous terrain. It's extremely challenging to reach even in the best of times. So that's really hampering rescue and relief operations. We've been told that the road going to the epicenter has actually been blocked because of a landslide. We know that the Taliban government is operating helicopters to try to get people out of there. But the scale of the earthquake, I think the scale of the impact and the dead, it will be a while before we can truly get a sense of that.

In Giuliani's version of events, the Ford Bronco in which he was a passenger pulled over on the highway to assist a woman involved in an incident of domestic violence. According to Giuliani, he called 911 and then drove off once assistance arrived. But state police say Giuliani's vehicle was pulled over on the opposite side of the multi lane state highway where it was rear ended at high speed. New Hampshire safety officials responding to the domestic violence incident witnessed the crash. Giuliani was treated at an unidentified hospital. State police say the driver of the other car and Giuliani's driver were also injured. Earlier Saturday, Giuliani was seen attending a minor league baseball game in Manchester. For NPR News, I'm Josh Rogers in Concord.

You're listening to NPR News from Washington. Social media influencers are touting the benefits of creatine supplements for everything from adding muscle to boosting brain health. NPR's Maria Godoy looked at the evidence behind the hype.

Creatine is a compound that supplies energy to our muscles. The body makes some creatine, and we also get it from animal foods like beef, chicken and especially fish. Research shows that when adults take creatine supplements and couple it with resistance training, they can add two to three pounds of lean muscle mass. As for other potential benefits like improving memory and helping our brains function better when we're sleep deprived, researcher Jose Antonio of Nova Southeastern University in Florida says the evidence there is interesting, but it's not strong.

The way I would frame it is it definitely won't hurt you and it probably will help you if you do.

The Powerball jackpot has soared to an estimated $1.1 billion after there was no winner in Saturday's drawing. Tonight's drawing will be the fifth largest PR in the game's history and the 40th since the jackpot was last won back in May. The Multi State Lottery association says the odds of winning the grand prize are about 1 in 292 million. If someone matches all of the numbers, they can choose between a $1.1 billion annuity or a one time cash payment of $500 million. I'm Windsor Johnston, NPR News, in Washington.
