If I'm a single-issue voter, it's this one. Everything else is like polishing the brass on the Titanic.
Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

You know, maybe we should just stop fighting it. There are so many forces intent on rendering this planet uninhabitable, either for profit or to "own" the people who want it to remain livable, maybe we should just let 'em. If we're this dead-set on destroying ourselves, why not speed it along? Let anyone dump anything they want anywhere. Let 'em make the air unbreathable. Let 'em make the water undrinkable. Let 'em amass all the imaginary points that polluting earns them until the environment is such an unrecoverable mess that it renders those points meaningless. Maybe launch a few nukes for good measure. It's obvious that this experiment called "humanity" has failed catastrophically. Let's do one unselfish thing and wipe ourselves out before we can infect and ruin any other planet.

I've been something of a misanthrope since I was old enough to see what havoc and devastation our species was wreaking on this planet, but I still care when people are hurt and suffering, and the bullies, sociopaths, and sadists who run almost everything piss me off to no end.
We fight. We fight for those who will have to inherit the world we leave them. And we fight for all the the other species who have the misfortune of being stuck on this rock with us. And if nothing else, we fight to spite the powers-that-be, because to hell with every last one of them.

BP shuns renewables in return to oil and gas
The energy giant has announced its strategy after rivals also rowed back on green energy plans.

My mom is a boomer (my dad is from the silent generation) and it never ceases to astonish me how selfish she is. She's in the Trump cult, of course, but I'm not just talking about her political leanings. She used to rant and rave about how unfair it was that society expected her to put the needs of her children first. Even when I was a kid, I was tempted to ask her if she really wanted to be a mother, but that would have only made her explode in rage.
They truly are the "me" generation.

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups
The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

Habitat for Humanity is among the groups targeted. The charges in question are financial fraud. Won't make it through the courts probably but it'll definitely be draining them of money to pay for the cases(barring any lawyers moving to help them pro bono).
For those of you who were looking at the silver lining of these tariffs that it would cut down on wasteful shipments across the ocean in polluting ships, I have more good news: Starting in 2027, all overseas shipments are getting taxed for their carbon emissions by an international body I didn't even know existed.
