Hopefully they are thinking of the midterms…if we have elections and the GOP gets whiplashed we just might be able to stop the worst of Trump. Imagine we get say 51 democrats in the sesnate along with a majority in the house that’s healthly.
Congress has more power than the president, in all cases. They could revoke the national emergency powers tomorrow if they chose to. He’s only getting to play dictator because congressional republicans are abdicating their responsibilities.
That said, it need to be a massive rebuke by the voters. 22 senate republican seats are up in 2026, enough to flip to a veto proof majority - but only 2 are realistically at play.

How much does Congress actually matter when we are already in a de facto dictatorship?

They could try.
I seriously doubt any election at this point will be free and fair.
