@Odoacre Congress elects a speaker and they pass a budget, even a temporary one.

President Biden's budget will ask for increase in military spending. McCarthy promised military spending cuts in his deal to become speaker.

"The budget is unlikely to gain momentum on Capitol Hill as Republicans, who control the House, are expected to oppose most of Mr. Biden’s proposals. [...] House Republicans have said spending cuts will be a condition for raising the debt ceiling, which the U.S. is already bumping up against. Mr. Biden says he won’t negotiate on the subject, calling for a “clean” debt ceiling increase without conditions. The government could become unable to pay its bills as soon as this summer, and failing to raise the debt ceiling could wreak havoc on global markets."

  • If you're using furloughs, you might want to specify if you're counting the order itself, or the actual furlough day arriving,

  • and whether furloughs of x many specific departments counts...
