California is too ‘overregulated, expensive, and risky' for Bed Bath & Beyond, chairman says
As Bed Bath & Beyond emerges from a bankruptcy that forced the closure of all its stores, the company's executive chairman took aim at California, saying he refuses to reopen locations in the state. 'California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses,' Beyond, Inc. executive chairman Marcus Lemonis said in a statement posted on X. 'It's a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.' The home goods retailer, once common in strip malls and shopping centers, joins a handful of companies that have denounced California's business environment. Some executives say California's high taxes, high cost of living and stringent environmental regulations hinder businesses trying to thrive. Billionaire In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder announced her departure from California earlier this summer, saying that doing business and raising a family in the Golden State was 'not easy.' While In-N-Out's corporate headquarters will remain in the state, several high-profile firms have moved their headquarters out in recent years, including Chevron, Tesla, SpaceX and Charles Schwab. Economists say the state is still one of the world's premier tech hubs and has a lot to offer, including a range of industries and a vast talent pool. Still, more companies have been leaving the state than entering since 2015, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. After Lemonis disparaged California in his lengthy statement, Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office fired back on X. 'After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed,' the post said. 'We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again.' Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy in 2023, after several failed turnaround strategies left the company facing mounting debt. has since bought the company's assets and rebranded as Beyond, Inc. The revamped venture reopened its first store in Nashville earlier this month. Conservative commentator and California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton said on X he was 'disgusted' by Newsom's 'attack on job-creating businesses.' He recently described California as the 'most hostile business environment in the country.' Lemonis said his decision to keep Bed Bath & Beyond brick-and-mortar locations out of California wasn't about politics. The executive chairman has become a familiar presence on Fox Business Network and once guest-hosted 'The Celebrity Apprentice' alongside future president Donald Trump. California customers will be able to shop for Bed Bath & Beyond products online, Lemonis said.

California AG on Trump National Guard deployment threat: ‘Absolute' violation of the law
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) denounced President Trump's threat to deploy National Guard troops to help combat crime in California as an 'absolute' violation of the law. 'Absolute, complete, transparent, blatant, brazen violation of the law. The Posse Comitatus Act said you cannot use military to engage in civilian law enforcement on American soil. Period, full stop,' he told NewsNation's Blake Burman in an episode of 'The Hill.' 'Tackling crime is the very definition of civilian law enforcement,' he continued. 'He — the military would be involved in detentions, arrests, searches and seizures, in clear violation. So, he's already, he's saying he will break the law.' Bonta added, 'But that's consistent for him, he's broken it 39 times. That's how many times we sued him in 30 weeks.' Trump signaled last week he could attempt to widen his efforts to exert federal control to other Democratic-led cities after launching a crackdown in Washington, D.C., citing what he said was out-of-control crime and squalor. 'We have other cities also that are bad. Very bad. You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is,' Trump told reporters during a press conference, after boosting federal law enforcement in the nation's capital. 'New York has a problem. And then you have, of course Baltimore and Oakland, we don't even mention that anymore. They're so far gone. We're not going to lose our cities over this,' the president continued at the time. 'And this will go further. We're starting very strongly with D.C., and we're going to clean it up very quickly, as they say.' Despite the move, the district's records show that crime is at a 30-year low. The Justice Department launched a probe into the D.C. data earlier this week. Democrats, district residents and local officials have pushed back on the Trump administration's efforts, including the deployment of National Guard troops — some of them armed — across the district. Trump has also suggested he could work with Congress to extend the federal takeover past the 30 days allotted under the city's Home Rule Act. His latest threat on California comes after the president deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles earlier this year to quell protests of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) deportation raids.
