squeezes out

Wrings the last

To squeeze out is to extract something by pressing or compressing: She squeezed out the last of the toothpaste.

Figuratively, it means to force someone or something from a position, often through gradual pressure rather than direct confrontation: Big retailers squeezed out the local shops.

You can also squeeze out a narrow victory or barely squeeze out enough time for something.
