They can’t get rid of it without being able to pass legislation, but they can decide to not fund it, or just fund border protection activities exclusively. So, when their current funding runs out, new funding has to come from Congress. They can choose to just not.

    You vote in primaries at minimum. Even better, get involved with your local Democratic party group to push for and advocate for what you seek... or run for something yourself.

    He’s not an engineer. Nor is there much evidence of being particularly intelligent. He’s great at social engineering though and is able to create an elite ‘reality distortion field’ that’s second to none, but he’s not smart in the way that he pretends.

    So, he's taking our money that we're forced to pay due to his stupid tariffs and is using some of it to payoff his supporters who he screwed over with those same tariffs. So, forcing everyone else to clean up his messes. Classic trump.

    “collapse of trumps efforts to restrain netanyahu”.. right. If netanyahu did this against US pleas, then why is the US shooting down the Iranian reprisal? Seems like they’d take trump more seriously he didn’t just support them regardless.
