The Short List   Monday, February 8 New year, shorter list. We're launching texts! Serious question: May I text you? What if I told you The Short List is launching something to give you greater access to the day's news without opening your email? Intrigued? Let's chat. No, really. I'm Ashley, and this is The Short List text.   You read that right: We're about to be amigos. To go with The Short List we all know and love, I want to send you a short, daily text message of the news everyone's talking about – and talk about it with you. My free texts will always have a brief summary of the day's news – the very biggest things you can't miss, even if you don't have time to read the newsletter. I'll also feature: • The exclusive opportunity to have your questions answered by USA TODAY reporters. • Access to chat with the editor about the news (that's me, Ashley Shaffer) or we can just swap dog pics. • Captivating images of the news you'll want to forward to friends and family. • First dibs at a challenging weekly news quiz we're launching soon (as a Short List reader, you'll ace it). Subscribe to The Short List text here! Have I mentioned it's free, only takes about a minute to get signed up, and you can unsubscribe at any time? It'll look a little something like this:  It's exactly like The Short List, but even shorter. USA TODAY You can opt out anytime, of course, and your phone number will be in good hands — we'll never share your information. Less talk, more news?
