Matt Wuerker (/ˈwɜːrkər/) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American political cartoonist and founding staff member of Politico. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Wuerker

You may remember his previous work:

Among editorial cartoonists, the first wave of “unity” cartoons — depicting Texans coming together despite any and all ideological differences — soon gave way to the truly “political” cartoons.

The first response to Hurricane Harvey’s toll, through the eyes of cartoonists

One of those was by Matt Wuerker, Politico’s Pulitzer-winning cartoonist, whose commentary upon what he views as the hypocrisy of Texas secessionists receiving federal rescue incurred a quick firestorm Wednesday. The backlash prompted Politico to remove a tweet of the cartoon, which remains on the outlet’s site.
