Can I use Flow to create a News item based on twitter?
This would be very hard to accomplish because news articles are not list item's they are documents in a library. So you would have to somehow generate a aspx site page with the content from the twitter post before you could even add it to a news article. I think you can somehow tap into the pages to edit / add content so you could probably have a blank page without promotedstate=2, have the flow copy that page, add the twitter content too it, then publish it as a news post by changing promoted state. It would be a lot of work to go down that path, there isn't any easy action that will accomplish it.
Not sure if this is what you are after but just to point out the Twitter web part is going to be out real soon, announced back at Ignite:
"bring in live tweets from chosen Twitter handles, specific collections or via search keywords. It’s always nice to show the live context of what’s being said externally right alongside the context of what you are working on internally."

A little birdie let me play w/the 'in-dev'/coming https://twitter.com/SharePoint?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Twitter?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw web part: 👍. A few weeks away; allows page & news authors to display someone's feed, individual tweets, tweet collections and search-based feeds; all w/nice design options.

Thanks, I will keep an eye out for that!
