Twitter now has an Alexa skill called Twitter Reader that you can use to have your Amazon Echo read tweets in your timeline, or even mention and get replies. You can also ask Alexa to read the top trending tweets and even narrow them down to a specific location, like the top tweets in Chicago or New York.

Since this is a third party Alexa skill, you will need to manually install it from the Alexa app on your phone. You can read our guide on installing Alexa skills, but you just select «Skills» from the sidebar and then look for «Twitter Reader». From there, click «Enable Skill» and log into your Twitter account to link it.
