As you pointed out, they attempted to subpoena Musk and the republicans voted it down. They’ve also introduced articles of impeachment, which they successfully put through last time only to have senate republicans refuse to convict on the basis that trump was no longer president.

Yes, what congress WILL do versus what they SHOULD do are different things.

If you look at things like the recent Gaza statements by Trump I think it's clear Trump is going to continuously step over the line and others will need to walk it back. Eventually that someone will be congress, I just hope it's sooner rather than later, although I fear it will be later rather than sooner.
